Inspired by Little Kunoichi's relationship with her pet ninja bunny, Chibi Samurai sets off to find a companion for himself. He explores many possibilities from Japanese culture-both real and mythical-thinking about how each creature might be as a pet. Little Kunoichi and her pet bunny cheer him on as he searches and searches, until finally Chibi Samurai realizes that the perfect pet has been with him all along.

Updated to reflect new guidelines and discuss babysitting in the digital age. Written by a child-development expert who has worked in childcare for over 15 years. For ages 12 and up.
