This is a fun, unique book that is flipped on its side as you climb the floors to reach the top of 100 stories. The pages are full of details and fun pictures for each floor. A lovely book to spend time pouring over together.

Very fun and creative book! I love the way it utilizes space, and the illustrations are just darling. Very cute story!

Upon receiving a letter, a young boy named Tochi adventures up through a house of 100 stories, each ten stories being home to a new kind of animal. He visits mice, squirrels, frogs, ladybugs, snakes, bees, birds, bats, spiders, and at last...but no spoilers here. You'll have to read the book!

This one is a feast for the eyes and heart: a book to treasure, check out, buy, and share.

You must read this clever book vertically as Tochi responds to a letter asking him to come up and play at the top of the house with 100 stories. With its recognizable Japanese illustrative style, readers meet the very different residents as Tochi visits with them as he makes his way to the top.

My little one absolutely adored the formatting of this one. She enjoyed discovering new and exciting things on each page. It's read portrait style instead of landscape. Translated from Japanese, this adorable story provides so many fun things to discover on each page as well as a new and intriguing way to focus on concepts like counting.

The Richard Scarry crowd might like this,but the format (long pages that have to be looked at vertically) is awkward to handle by grownup hands, let alone kids' hands.

An amazing picture book of a house with 100 stories. Different animals inhabit every ten floors, making Tochi's climb very interesting indeed.
Highly recommended.

translated from a 2008 Japanese picture book. Counts from 1-100. Multiple meanings of the word "stories". Adorable illustrations.

This book is fun in it's unique orientation and the journey to read from the bottom to the top story on each 2-page spread.

What magical pictures and a fantastic little adventure!

Love the creativity of this counting book and think kids will get a kick out of the non-traditional used of a vertical layout!

theme: animals, exploring

A good share for children! I read the one in Chinese, and shared it during one storytelling session, and the child (only 1 came though) looked like she enjoyed it! The guessing of the animals at each level, and fact that a house can be underground and be so deep down is simple amazing and interesting to me.

A very cute board book about Tochi-kun's visit to the 100 Story House.
