Retelling: This is a young bunny's monologue to his mother about why he is mad at her: She never lets him watch cartoons, she sleeps late, she tells him to do things that she doesn't do herself, among other things. The young bunny threatens to go far away. He comes back a minute later to see if she

A charming book in Japanese that shows the relationship between a child and mother. They go through a typical issue of 'I'm mad at you'. The child runs away, only to come back and share hugs with his/her mom.
