Un relatito muy tierno donde Aki y su zorrito de peluche Kon, deciden coger el tren para visitar a la abuela. Se lee en 10 minutos y las ilustraciones son una gozada. ¡Preciosas! Eso sí, no es literatura infantil como la de Roald Dahl o Angela Sommer-Bodenburg, que se disfrutan a todas las edades. Esta historia es para niños pequeñitos jajaja.

I hesitate to rate this book, as I didn't actually read it -- I saw an exhibit of Akiko Hayashi's picture books at the Hiroshima Museum of Art, and it was just her illustrations, no text -- but the pictures are so profound and glorious, and they tell the tale so well, that I feel justified in doing so.

It's an absolutely fabulous book that I think anyone with half a heart would love. It's so full of charm and joy and tiny adventures. I had never heard of this author/illustrator, but I was simply overcome by her beautiful, powerful work. This is my instant favorite of her books.

Love at first sight.

Curajoasele și rezistentele jucării de pluș și aventurile prin care trec.

"Aki y el zorrito" de Akiko Hayashi. Es un clásico de la literatura infantil japonesa que emociona a niños y a adultos. Además las bonitas ilustraciones de Akiko Hayashi consiguen transmitir la ternura y la profundidad de la amistad entre la niña y el zorrito. 

De frases sencillas y con una trama fácil de seguir, cuenta una historia muy tierna entre una niña y un zorrito: "Aki está preocupada. Su inseparable amigo, el zorrito Kon, tiene un brazo descosido y necesita la ayuda de la abuela para curarse. Pero la abuela vive muy lejos, junto a la colina de las dunas. Un largo viaje lleno de contratiempos les espera. Una aventura que recordarán para siempre". 

Me ha encantado este libro tan tierno con esos personajes entrañables que te cautivan el corazón. En la primera lectura casi derramó una lagrimilla.

This book was so cute and original! It is originally Japanese, but the English translation is good.

The story is very Japanese and the illustrations are cute but for us the fox looks a lot like a bear.

A very sweet and imaginative story. I must have read this 50 times this year. It's a favorite around the house.
