The Funny Little Woman by Arlene Mosel

The Funny Little Woman by Arlene Mosel

In this Caldecott Medal-winning tale set in Old Japan, a lively little woman who loves to laugh pursues her runaway dumpling--and must outwit the wicked three-eyed oni when she lands in their clutches.

The pictures are in perfect harmony with the humorous mood of the story. . . . It's all done with a commendable amount of taste, imagination, and style.--School Library Journal (starred review)

A beautifully convincing tale.--The New York Times Book Review

Using elements of traditional Japanese art, the illustrator has made marvelously imaginative pictures.--The Horn Book

Lent's pictures are a lively blend of finely detailed, delicate drawings and rip-roaring good humor.--The Boston Globe

A good read-aloud with lots of suspense.--Learning
