Abstract

“Kotatsu” is a Japanese traditional heating table covered with a blanket. This story “KOTATSU-USHI” is a combination of Japanese traditional culture “kotatsu” and cow.
“Why does Mom have a kotatsu?”
“Children, it's time you learn about the benefits of a kotatsu....... Come on, come in!”
Nobody knows but the mother cow had a kotatsu attached to her back, and the children were very interested. One by one, the children cows climbed into the mother's kotatsu. The kotatsu was a little tight when everyone was in it, but the warmth of the kotatsu made for great family conversation. However, the kotatsu was so small that the children's feet hit each other, and they end up fighting with each other.......
This is a book that will help you understand the appeal of the kotatsu. Please pay attention to the collaboration between the humorous story by new picture book author Ms. Kawamata and the dynamic, adorable pictures of the characters by veteran picture book author Hasegawa. We can also recommend to read together with parents and children in a warm house during the cold winter
