This book showing us possibility activities Kuma the little bear do daily. This book look so minimalist both illustrations and text that I am not sure will attract kids as general. The plot seem so simple and give relax calming feel. Kuma seem so lonely too for me.

Thanks Netgalley and Museyon publisher for providing me with this copy.

Kuma-Kuma Chan, the Little Bear was a really sweet, calming story about a bear and what he might do during the day. I would love this bear's life! It sounds very relaxing. I liked the minimal text and illustration, it added to the simplicity of the bear's day.

Having loved "The Mailbox in the Forest", illustrated by our creator here, it was a bit disappointing to find too little about this – both as regards content, and too little to really talk about. So sparse is the text, and so white are the illustrations this really feels to lack enough to impel a purchase. The narrative is the voice of someone imagining what a bear does in the woods – and no, they don't assume the bear ever does that. To show how lacking this is, there's not even any indication as to whether this imagining is at all correct or not, but this is a book so quiet and empty it won't have anything as dramatic as a twist ending or a big reveal. And I don't see that quietness or emptiness, whatever kind of Japanese cutesy Zen craft has gone into it, will have that much of an appeal. It wouldn't have with a much younger me, as far as I can believe. A shame.

We have a book or a character or an actor or anything possible that we want to hate but just couldn't. Well, this book is exactly that. I really wish I read all the books in this series to decide what I feel about them and whether I would be recommending them to the young readers.

I really feel the illustration part is incomplete or done half-heartedly.

The writing and the language used is okay.

Overall, the presentation could have been much better.

Thank you, author, for the review copy.
