Ikari's Gyoza Sumiko Karita Taeko Oshima --------- My children are now in upper elementary school, so I'm listing this, hoping someone will enjoy reading this picture book. Raising children can be tough and frustrating, but I read this book during those times. Elementary school students can read it on their own. The story is interesting for reading aloud, so I recommend it.
