Translated by Sayako Uchida.
Stuffed rabbit Mimi and her friend Piggy embark on a trip to Venice (without their little-girl owner, Saya). Their tame travel narrative--packed with sights, sweets, and souvenirs--includes a little conflict when Mimi and Piggy become separated from each other, but it's resolved quickly and neatly. Tashiro's art places the cute, tiny toys into capable renderings of Venice's gorgeous scenery.
