This is my favourite story, origin from Japan. I did not purchase this book this year as it is in the existing collection. I shared this story via video recording for P1 to P3 levels to promote this book in Term 2. Some found it funny but others did not. Nevetheless it was a learning experience for me as a LC too to attempt to engage readers with my favourite book.

The Funny Little Woman is a book "retold by" Arlene Mosel and illustrated by Blair Lent. Released by E. P. Dutton, it was the recipient of the Caldecott Medal for illustration in 1973.

" The Old Woman who Lost her Dumplings" was the title of the original tale by Lafcadio Hearn, which Mosel had adapted.

The story is set in old Japan. It is about is a funny little woman (who is an old woman). She likes to laugh ("Tee-he-he-he") and makes dumplings out of rice.

One day, one of her dumplings rolls down a hole. The little old woman chases the lost dumpling and ends up in a strange place underground lined with (guardian statues). The Jizos warn the old woman not to go after the dumpling because of wicked (monsters) who live there, but she does anyway. An oni grabs the old woman and takes her in a boat across a river to the house of the oni.

The oni forces the old woman to cook rice for them. They give her a magic paddle to make a full pot of rice from a single grain. Now the old woman is enjoying to be busy serving them plenty of rice dumplings for dinner every day.

But months later, the old woman becomes homesick. One afternoon, she decided to return home. When the oni are not looking, the old woman takes the magic paddle, and escapes on a boat on the river. Soon the monsters found that the old woman was heading home. They want to stop the her. But they realize they cannot swim. So with the inability to swim or fly, they drank all the river water.

When the water bed dries up, the boat gets stuck into the mud. The old woman (who was too worried to laugh) tried to run away. But she gets stuck too in the mud. When she struggles, the oni all laugh. But when they do, they accidentally release the water from their mouths back into the river. When the water comes back again, the old woman can finish crossing to the other side in the boat.

The old woman returns home. She makes many rice dumplings with the magic paddle and sells them to people, and becomes "the richest woman in all of Japan."

Shared this book during one of the library CCA session with the upper primary students.
Only shared the synopsis and the trailer (this book is made into movie) of the movie that was enough to get them hooked. Many of them wanted to borrow this book from the school library.
We had a discussion a few weeks later on how to be inclusive in school and in the society.

One of my favourite books as it has a different take on education, reminding me as a teacher, to be more inclusive and creative in delivering my lessons. For students, it would inspire them to be more inquisitive and have the thirst for knowledge like Toto-Chan. I have read this sometime ago, and would love to revisit it! A recommended read for upper primary students (P4-6).

Eric Carle was one of the famous authors that we introduced to our P1 and P2 pupils during our school's Reading Festival. We showed videos of the story and read the physical book to our students. We also collated all of Eric Carle's books and put them up for display and loan in the library. Our pupils did a caterpillar bookmark too.
