Mr. Beetle

(4) K-3 Translated by Cathy Hirano. In this humorous tale of friendship, a boy named Yoshi befriends a gigantic rhinoceros beetle who lives and plays with him before finally returning to the forest. Warm, vivid illustrations lend a sense of comforting realism to the fanciful tale, though the text is stilted in places. An informative endnote provides information about the habits of rhinoceros beetles.
