Oni, dumplings, and fun
A woman chases her dumpling into a crack and lands in a world run by creatures called Oni. They are big dark creatures that look like monsters. Their pudgy form makes them look cute rather than scary. Most readers will love the section where the Oni drink all the river water, only to spit it out when laughing at the woman. Despite the monsters this is a real great tale for children.
