The Beckoning Cat

The Beckoning Cat: Based on a Japanese Folktale - Koko Nishizuka, Rosanne Litzinger

I loved learning one of the possible origins of maneki-neko. The story of the beckoning cat is similar to many Western folktales where a poor person shows kindness to an animal and is rewarded for it. This makes it a good introduction to Japanese folktales (some of which can be very weird).
