Have fun with trouble! Reflect hard!
The eight cheeky yet lovable kittens are back!
The fourth major operation unfolds under the vast sky and on a beautiful uninhabited island!
“Today is a plane day, meow!”

The mischievous cats are spying on Mr. Mong's plane.

It would be really cool to fly in the sky on a big airplane.
“The plane is cool, meow.”
“I want to ride an airplane, meow meow.”
The cats sneak onto the plane while Mr. Mongmong is away for a moment.
As I entered the cockpit and moved the joystick, the propeller started spinning.
The kittens fly high in the sky!
What on earth will happen this time?

"The bigger the trouble, the harder you have to reflect! Meow meow!"
Cats are just like children: they have to do what they want to do, can't stand being curious, and have to eat what they want to eat.
You know that you shouldn't sneak into someone else's store in the middle of the night and tamper with it or take food without the owner's permission.
But, because he wants to ride the plane without worrying about what other people think, he ends up having an accident.
Even though they know they'll get in trouble if they get caught, they still do it anyway because of the thrill of getting into trouble.
The cats, who have become even bolder and more shameless than in the previous work, do not give up even when they are forced to crash-land on a deserted island and find a way to survive.
Moreover, he calmly says that he would like to live here for the rest of his life because he enjoys the leisurely and self-sufficient life on an uninhabited island.
Still, I guess it was too much to eat the same food every day.
The cats kneel down in front of Mr. Mong Mong again.
Every time I get into a terrible accident and get really angry, I see him admit his mistakes, take responsibility for his actions, and diligently do whatever I tell him to do, and my heart softens again.
Wouldn't the feelings of parents who scold their mischievous children be similar to Mr. Mongmong's?
It's something I should hate, but I can't hate it.

This time too, the cats are working hard to take responsibility for what we did.
Go to a deserted island, bring back a broken down airplane, clean it up, and repair it.
No matter how exciting something may be, if something goes wrong, you should reflect and take responsibility for your actions. Remember this.


This is my first time seeing a cat character like this!
A picture book that is fun to read over and over again, enjoyed by both children and adults.
Noriko Kudo's "Crazy Cat" series is a picture book that is loved by everyone from children to adults, with text and illustrations that exquisitely combine the characteristics of cats and children.
These eight kittens are not only very cute in appearance, but their actions are so quirky that you won't be able to take your eyes off them for even a moment.
The author's unique drawings, which seem to have been scribbled with a pencil, and the rich onomatopoeia and mimetic words that do not miss even the smallest movements of the cats, captivate children's hearts.
The way he speaks, concisely and bluntly, and the way he adds 'meow' at the end of his sentences, like a mother, has a strangely addictive quality.

It was serialized as a cartoon in the Japanese magazine MOE and was greatly loved, and recently it has been made into a short animation and is being released regularly.
(http://www.kodomoe.net/serial_types/noraneko_movie/) The first story of 'Woodangtangtang Meow', 'The Bread Factory is Bustling', won 4th place in the '2013 MOE Picture Book Awards', the second story, 'The Train Rattles', won 2nd place in the '2014 MOE Picture Book Awards', and the third story, 'The Sushi Goes Round and Round', won 3rd place in the '2016 MOE Picture Book Awards', making all three works consecutively selected as picture books of the year.
It is said that the four volumes, including the fourth story, “The Airplane Whining,” have sold over 300,000 copies in Japan.
The fifth story, “Ice Cream is Frozen (tentative title)” is also scheduled to be published soon.
The 'Woodangtangtang Meow' series is also very popular in Korea.
Children and adults alike have fallen in love with these mischievous cats, who possess all the unique antics, recklessness, shamelessness, and cuteness of cats.

Picture book critic Tadashi Matsui said, "The primary value of picture books is pleasure and joy."
I think the 'Woodangtangtang Meow' series is the most picture book-like series that you can watch over and over again, not because of any other reason or purpose, but because it's so much fun.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of big trouble these cats, with their sleepy eyes wide open, will cause next.
