When a boy receives an invitation in the mail from Kuma-Kuma Chan (“cute little bear”
in Japanese), a friendly bear who lives far away, he travels by train, bus, and finally on foot to reach Kuma-Kuma Chan's home. Kuma-Kuma Chan welcomes him and serves tea.

This heartwarming tale once again immerses children of all ages, in Kuma-Kuma Chan's peaceful, simple world. This charming book is the second title in the series of the beloved children’s books, Kuma-Kuma Chan, The Little Bear.
