Translated by Richard Carpenter.
In this sixth book about Little Daruma, the Japanese doll goes fishing, gets some help from his three friends, then helps them in return. Despite the unfamiliar characters and setting and the somewhat peculiar pace of the text, American readers may still find appeal in this simple tale of friendship, illustrated with colorful, amusing drawings.
