A Story from Japan
Holiday House
Publisher's Weekly: Plenty of action enlivens this teams version of a Zen parable about a castle held hostage by a glutinous rat…Gerstein uses anime -style panels… but his animals have heft bulk, and plenty of untidy fur. He has great fun with the paunchy rat who alternately terrorizes the good guy and eats himself silly.… Humor, wisdom and excitement make this offbeat tale a winner.
