161. Kyabetsukun [Cabbage boy] | Japanese Picture Book Authors of the Heisei Era (1989-2019) | International Library of Children's Literature, National Diet Librar

Commentary: This is a story about Cabbage Boy who is targeted by the hungry Mr. Butayama and what will happen if Cabbage boy is eaten. Each time Cabbage Boy gives an example, animals with parts of their bodies turned into cabbages appear one after another in the sky. This is a humorous and nonsensical picture book that portrays the interactions between the two characters.
