Little Mimi, the Hasty
STORY
Mimi-chan, the careless little rabbit ate a pepper instead of a carrot by mistake, and rushed toward the river, shouting "My mouth is on fire!" When she reached the river, she saw two little bears fighting. "Oh my god!" she cried and called everybody, only to find that the bears had been wrestling for fun. "So, Mimi-chan has done it again," the animals of the forest all sighed. Mimi-chan always tried to be careful without success. She would jump to the wrong conclusion and panic, throwing the whole forest into an uproar. Then, a little bird taught Mimi-chan how to get rid of her careless habit...
DESCRIPTIONS
Worried about the fact that even children's cartoons at that time were full of violence and sex, Tezuka Osamu wrote this lovely picture book that could safely be read to all children. The confusion created by careless Mimi-chan time and again, delights little children. Moreover, it teaches them to pause after a step and look around slowly under any circumstances. This book makes you feel that children might not rush out into the road chasing balls, if they were brought up listening to a story like this.
