Reviews

[Amy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Little Daruma and his sister, Darumako, are building a snowman. They put apples on for eyes, but one rolls to some rabbits. They become friends.

Besides being a storybook, this is also a craft book. It teaches things like how to fold a napkin into the shape of a rabbit, or how to cut a rabbit out of a piece of apple, and other things.
