Translated by Kathryn Bishop.
Illustrated by
Yusuke Yonezu.
Nori loses his beloved binky. One by one his animal friends find and use it inventively (e.g., Lottie Lamb uses it as a hair clip). At story's end, Nori reaffirms that he is a big boy and no longer needs it. Although the resolution is pat and the text stilted, the textured illustrations with expressive baby animals will delight preschoolers.
