Taka-Chan And I (Paperback, Main)

A tale of adventure, loyalty, daring escapes, friendship, and honor,
"Taka-chan and I "has it all. One day, Runcible, a Weimeraner,
digs a hole from his home on Cape Cod all the way to Japan.
There he meets Taka-chan, a little girl imprisoned by a seadragon
who is angry that fishermen like Taka-chan's father no
longer make offerings to him. Runcible is determined to free
Taka-chan and gladly takes up the dragon's challenge to find
the most loyal creature in Japan. Soon Taka-chan and Runcible
embark on a trip to Tokyo, where they question everyone they
meet, human and animal, to discover the identity of this most
loyal being.
"Taka-chan and I "is in the tradition of "The Red Balloon," books
that perfectly marry elements of photography and stories that
are as thrilling as they are poignant.
