Mr. Keizou is a cock kept at a kindergarten. One day, one of the teachers brought Mimiko, a white rabbit. Mr. Keizou had to share his cage with Mimiko now, which changed his everyday life completely. Enjoy the hilarious and witty conversations unfold among these two. It also is fun to see the slight misunderstanding of what these two really think and feel by the people and the children. A perfect piece to bridge from “picture books” to “children’s story books”.

Nobuko Ichikawa was born in 1960 in Kanagawa. Her picture books include Mariko-chan no Boushi (Mariko’s Hat, 2000), Kyouryu ga Suwatteita (There Sat a Dinosaur, 2000), Orenji Iro no Biichi Sandal (Orange Color Flip-Flops, 2003), Saishu Ressha no Atode (After the Last Train, 1994), and Bananan Nan (Bananan-nan, 2001). The works of children’s books are Obake no Oh-Chan (Little O, the Ghost, 2002), Arinko Hoshiki (The Ant Method, 2005), and more.
