Tanuki
Meet Tanuki, the adventurous raccoon. He lives behind the barn on the farmer's farm. He has a big job watching over the whole farm and all his animal friends. One day, he unexpectedly happens upon four little mice in the barn, who become his forever friends! Tanuki helps the mice siblings learn a valuable lesson while they solve a mystery. First, the little mice jump to conclusions and learn the hard way that it's better to get all the facts. Then Tanuki and Mama Mouse use teamwork to create the most unusual birthday surprise for the little mice. You'll never guess what it is. "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it" (Prov. 22:6, NIV). "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you" (Matt. 7:12, NIV).

Tasked with protecting a young tanuki called Manpachi as he fulfills various tasks for the gods, Senzou must earn his powers back by learning how to be a good guardian to the energetic little pup.

The Book of Yokai
Monsters, ghosts, fantastic beings, and supernatural phenomena of all sorts haunt the folklore and popular culture of Japan. Broadly labeled yokai, these creatures come in infinite shapes and sizes, from tengu mountain goblins and kappa water spirits to shape-shifting foxes and long-tongued ceiling-lickers. Currently popular in anime, manga, film, and computer games, many yokai originated in local legends, folktales, and regional ghost stories. Drawing on years of research in Japan, Michael Dylan Foster unpacks the history and cultural context of yokai, tracing their roots, interpreting their meanings, and introducing people who have hunted them through the ages. In this delightful and acces...

This is perhaps his most beautifully crafted novel – and the most fun to read.
