『おばあちゃんの わすれもの』（Obaachan no wasuremono）
こぶたのトンタは、おばあちゃんが膝の治療のため月に一度町の病院に行くお供をする。乗りもの好きのトンタにとって、行き帰りのバスに乗るのが楽しみなのだ。診察が終わると、おばあちゃんは商店街のお店に寄って家族のためにいろいろな買いものする。トンタはおばあちゃんの買いものを全部大きなリュックに詰め込む。それを背負っておばあちゃんと町の中を歩くのはカッコ悪くて嫌だとトンタは思うのだが、それもお供の条件だから仕方がない。
町に行くたのしみのもうひとつは、カフェに寄ってアイスを食べること。カフェを出てバス乗り場に行くと、おばあちゃんは杖を忘れてきたことに気がつく。トンタは、杖を探しに、今まで寄ったお店をたどりながら町の中を駆けめぐる。杖は最初に訪れた病院で見つかるが、お医者さんは、杖を忘れて帰るくらいだから、おばあちゃんの膝も治ったみたいだねとトンタに言う。帰りのバスで、おばあちゃんの忘れもの探しで疲れたトンタはひと眠り。バスから降りた瞬間、トンタも友だちとの約束を忘れていたことに気がつく。
いろいろな動物たちが暮らしている町を、おばあちゃんのお供をして歩き回るトンタの一日が、ほほえましくユーモラスに描かれ、おばあちゃんと孫との心の触れ合いが、ほのぼのと伝わってくる楽しい幼年童だ。（野上）

A Forgetful Granny
Tonta the piglet loves riding on public transport. When his granny has to go to the hospital in town to have her knees treated, he goes with her since it means he can go on the bus, and also she’ll stop at a café on the way home and treat him to an ice cream. After her knees has been examined, Granny goes to the local shopping street to buy lots of things for the family. Tonta squeezes all of her purchases into her large rucksack. He hates walking around town with her carrying the rucksack since he thinks it looks uncool, but that’s all part of the outing and he has to put up with it.
Having been to the café and finished all the shopping, they are on their way to catch the bus home when Granny realizes that she has lost her walking stick somewhere along the way. Tonta runs around the town going to all the shops they visited. He eventually finds the stick in the hospital they’d been to first, and the doctor tells him that if Granny had forgotten all about the stick after leaving the hospital, then her knees must be healed. Tonta is so tired after all the running around that he has a nap on the bus on the way home. The final amusing twist is that Tonta belatedly remembers that he was supposed to meet his friend that day.
This is a fun book for children, as all the animals living in the town are humorously and amusingly depicted, and it conveys the heartwarming bond between Tonta and his Granny. (Nogami)
