123. Wakusei Kyabeji dobutsu zukan [The Planet Cabbage Animal Book] | Japanese Picture Book Authors of the Heisei Era (1989-2019) | International Library of Children's Literature, National Diet Librar

Commentary: This is a picture book modeled on pictorial encyclopedias and introduces the vegetable and fruit-like animals of planet Cabbage, which is located 831 light years from earth. The book stimulates the readers' imaginations, for example, by likening the brown spots on a banana as the spots on a giraffe.
