Abstract
This large-format paperbound book presents the fable carefully. The daughter wants a particular mouse, Ko Nezumi, for her husband. Her status-conscious father goes first to the emperor and then to the sun, the cloud, the wind, the wall, and finally Ko Nezumi. The art work gives good faces to each of these, particularly the wall. The father learns nothing from the whole series of events, for he tells his wife on the last page I knew it all along. We mice are the greatest of all!
