Readers' praise
marvelous! Rice ball boy! My four-year-old son happily finished reading it, and I found it really interesting when I saw the expression on his face as he couldn’t stop reading. The fourth volume of the Bread Thief series, Rice Ball Boy, is just like the bread thief, with rich expressions and cuteness. I suggest that readers who are reading the Bread Thief series of picture books for the first time should start from the first book!
My daughter would read the book over and over again, imitating the actions of the characters in the book as she read, and was deeply fascinated by them. Next time I will make grilled rice balls and eat them with my daughter!
The fourth volume is Rice Ball! ? right! That's it! An unexpected plot! A must-read book for kids every night before bed.
