魔法のポケット- 詩

A 1001 CBYMRBYGU.

The Magic Pocket is a book of little poems for children, but I loved them, too. The illustrations are by the great Anno and the poems are just right for kids. I found it fascinating to see that in Japan even young children can read and contemplate haiku-like poems.

Inside the pocket
There's one cookie.
Hit the pocket,
There are two!

Hit it again,
There are three.
The more I hit it,
The more there are!

I wish I had
A pocket like that!
I wish I had
A pocket like that!
