International Literature #3-Miki's First Errand by Yoriko Tsutsui


This book was originally published in Japan, but was translated and published by RIC Publications in 2006.  The story is about Miki, a five year old girl whose mother asks her to go to the corner market to buy some milk.  It would be appropriate for 3-6 year olds of any ethnic origin.  Even though the illustrations prove that the child is obviously Asian, the story would be familiar to children from many locations around the world. The style of writing in this short book is just right to keep a young child or young reader's attention.
