Book Cover Challenge 7

Wow, another day is already over!

Since Professor Takeo Doi—who has been so incredibly helpful to me—kindly passed the baton to me, I’m posting a book cover. I love
picture books and have started creating Digital Ehon books, so I’m sticking to the “picture book” theme.

On Day 7, it’s Maki Sasaki’s *The Strange Tea Party*.
The cover alone doesn’t do this book justice! So here’s another picture.
All of Maki Sasaki’s nonsense picture books are full of charm, but this is by far my favorite.

Since picture books are the kind of books where I can’t help but buy them just because of the book cover—or rather, the book jacket—I think they’re perfect for book cover reviews (*^^*)

I’ve visited quite a few museums related to picture books, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to write about them somewhere,
but for now, I’m going to read a picture book and then go to sleep.
Good night~.
