Fluffy kitty Mufosand and his cast of adorable friends prepare to go on vacation by providing tips on what to pack to have a good time. They visit an aquarium and talk about the fish one might see. They visit an amusement park and go on lots of fun rides. They also visit hot springs and enjoy a relaxing dip. Mufosand also likes food, so they dress up as the regional dishes from all over Japan and celebrate different cuisines.

This adorable book reads like a picture book with very scarce text outside of text boxes, and there are ridiculously cute illustrations of cats doing all sorts of fun activities. Occasionally, there’s a precious little puppy or other animals thrown in, but everything is fluffy and fuzzy. This is a lot longer than a traditional picture book, but it’s broken up in sections between the traveling section and the food section where there is a distinctive shift in narrative style. When Mufosand is sharing favorite dishes, it’s not really a story anymore. The traveling chapters are still short and manageable for younger readers, but it might be good to chunk this up and take chapter breaks.
