A 32-page picture book depicting a child's adventure and friendship. - Title: Norio's Mysterious Telescope - Author: Masahiro Hirata - Illustrator: Keiko Hirata - Published: November 2006 - Content: Children's picture book, a story of adventure and friendship - Pages: 32 pages ￥1650 (tax included) The usual scenery becomes strangely wonderful~ My son, who loves crafts, was thrilled with the telescope he made by rolling up a calendar! When I read the spell drawn in circles with a suspicious intonation, my son spun his head around and said, "How wonderful!" with me. It was fun every time a new telescope appeared. Norio looked through the telescope and saw "long ago," "once upon a time," and "a little while ago." This rough time setting is great. Of course, the scenery changes, but it's also funny how Norio and the cat's costumes change too. The scenery the mother wanted to see was "five years ago." Oh, I want to see it too. The development after that is also wonderful. By the way, my son was silently smiling here. The warm illustrations and story perfectly match the unchanging lives of people helping each other and the love between parents and children, even as times change. Knowing that it was a work by a married couple, I understand. I hope mothers will read it to their children. Thank you for reading.
