Ivactually listened to the audiobook from the library as listening practice but Goodreads doesn't have it listed. This is the same author and title though so close enough.
I never know how to rate these so 4⭐ seems safe.

When I reread Nankichi Niimi's "To Buy a Tebukuro," the warm feelings I felt as a child overflowed.
In a snowy winter, a mother fox goes to buy a pair of gloves for a baby fox suffering from chilblains. I remember flipping through the pages with butterflies in my stomach when the mother fox is afraid of going to a human town, and when the baby fox mistakenly offers money with a human hand.
No matter how many times I read it, the scene where the shop clerk hands the fox a pair of gloves, saying, "Even foxes are cold in winter," warms my heart. This moment of kindness reminded me of when I was a child, lending my scarf to a friend who was shivering from the cold.
The wonderful thing about this story is that it depicts the warm interaction between animals and humans that transcends the emotional barrier. It's also touching to see the depth of love between parents and children, as well as the kindness of humans.
Even now as an adult, reading this story brings back the pure heart I felt as a child. I think this is a masterpiece that will be loved across generations. Why not read it together and talk about warmth and kindness?
