REVIEWS:
“The Musubi Man is back in a charming new adventure that’s sure to become a local classic... Pat Hall’s cheery illustrations add to the satisfying story which actually made me laugh out loud. Rare to find a sequel that’s as good as the original but here you have it.”
- The Honolulu Advertiser
“Now fans of Takayama’s first book can enjoy a sequel: The Musubi Man’s New Friend. In this 24-page book illustrated by Pat Hall, the musubi man surfs all day dodging hungry sea creatures but he eventually gets bored. Then one day he makes a new friend and that leads to another fast-paced adventure.”
- Hawaii Westways
“The Musubi Man’s New Friend follows the adventures of the musubi man as he meets a surfer and learns to ride waves... Takayama uses some pidgin terms throughout the text to give the work a true local flavor.”
- West Oahu Current
