Tell me a Story, Please by Kyoko Hara and Kazue Takahashi

 Tell me a Story, Please


by Kyoko Hara and Kazue Takahashi is a beautiful and inspiring children's book released by Museyon Books. The tale is the one of a kid, a female one, called Yuka, who asked often to her mother of reading to her some fairy-tales. Yuka was at the first year of school, so she was in grade to do that, but her mother was so funny when she made weird, strange voices of several characters, like the horrible wolf of Little Red Riding Hood for example. But...Her mother was also pregnant and soon there would have been the arrival of a new baby and so brother or sister. Yuka wanted to be much more educated with this new baby than not what her biggest brother had been with her. Once born Yuto, the problem was simple: Yuka didn't find anymore in her mother, her reader because she was too busy. She tried with several people; an elderly for example who fell asleep immediately after having started to read.Yuka was depressed: one day she entered in a close forest where there was a beautiful maple tree, and she sat. She opened discomforted the book, and starting to read-aloud. Immediately a curious squiller made her company, asking for more fairy-tales as for all the rest of animals of the forest, with which she became great friends with, because she became their reader. One day, these animals asked her a fairy-tales where they were all included. Bloody hell! Now, what to do? Because there wasn't realistically a fairy-tale including all of them but....One day looking well she thought: well, why not the Bremen Town Musicians?

Oh, that animals had been so satisfied of this fairy-tale! They would have wanted to be like that Musicians. They will, you see, at the end of the story, and like for that Musicians, they will set free their place from a big danger!


Absolutely beautiful, fantastic, tender illustrations. Another wonderful children's book from Museyon!
