Translated by Sayako Uchida.
Solitary Old Lion raises a lost baby rabbit: "If I let him eat enough, he'll grow up to be big and delicious!" Eventually realizing how lonely he has been and how much he cares for the bunny, the lion frees his captive and swears off rabbit meat. This moralistic (and slightly creepy) tale is accompanied by more successful, evocative pencil and acrylic illustrations.

After his mail carrier father bicycles off to work every day, Little Bear gets "lonely and bored" staying by himself. But one day, Mr. Bear abandons his mail route to lead a big parade of new animal friends back to Little Bear. With their whimsical details and unusual animals, the soft paintings add interest to an amiable if wordy story.
