This is my unique retelling of a famous Japanese folktale, in which a young tanuki first magically transforms himself into a teapot--but then gets into trouble!

This story is based on a Japanese Folktale about a raccoon who turned into a teapot. The art went very well with the Japanese story. It was a cute story, and might interest children to learn more about a different culture.
