( ) I love everything about this book. It can be used on so many levels! The smallest readers would like the story about the skinny kitty who comes to live with the Sumo wrestlers, gentlemen of strength and honor. Older students could get into the preparation and lifestyle these huge athletes go through. They can also learn some of the Japanese words in the story. I also appreciate the thick paper pages, the moral of the story, and the beautiful illustrations! The story begins with four " wise and beautiful sayings". Simply inspiring! no reviews | add a review
A hungry cat gets a job hunting mice at a sumo training center (heya), but once the mice are gone he continues to stuff himself until he is too fat to chase the mice that have returned--so he decides to train with the sumo wrestlers, and SumoKitty becomes a scourge of mice and an inspiration to the wrestlers.
