Even more surprising, the lamb speaks, asking her in a kind voice, \"Are you here for the tea party?\" Suddenly, Kikko realizes her trip through the woods has turned into something magical ... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMiyakoshi has beautifully crafted an original fairy tale that will delight and enchant. The unique visual presentation features mostly black-and-white art with the occasional use of red or yellow to help guide readers through the pages.
