Adventure

In adventure stories the heroes set off on a journey: Momotaro sails to the island of demons, Anansi the spider climbs his silk thread all the way to the sky, and a little whale looks for home in thick fog. Along the way they make friends, outwit those who are stronger and come home a little changed. They are just the thing when a child asks for something exciting.
