Mr. Kugu’s Jack-in-the-Box

by Hiroshi Ito

Kugu is a museum-owning traveller who sometimes sends surprises-he calls them Jack-in-the-Boxes-to his friends. Inside will be a letter and a strange souvenir from one of Kugu’s travels: bugs that only eat letters, power-giving black strings, memory-fishing sticks. Fun, fantastical and filled with four tall tales of adventure, this book will captivate curious minds.
