No. 1 “Big Pinch Zukan” by Noritake Suzuki/Shogakukan 1650 yen [Image 2
“Large Pinch Zukan”
Milk spilled. I can’t find the end of the cellophane tape. No toilet paper. Explains various big pinches that attack in everyday life with “easiness of becoming” and “big pinch level”. A must-have picture book for every household. It is a hot topic among children.

Comment from Noritake Suzuki
When you’re depressed in a pinch, frustrated, and excited.
It doesn’t go very well, does it?
“Oh, this kind of thing happens, too.”
Looking down on a pinch and moving forward strongly,
I hope it will be such a powerful book.
