The daily adventures of Yotsuba and her neighbors turned best pals tackle every subject imaginable from learning to ride bikes, selling flowers, racing at the beach and finding ways to battle against environmental pollution all the while driving each other crazy and learning to love each others company. Her energy is off the charts and her curiosity about anything and everything is never satisfied. Yotsuba is an adventurous, green-haired and wide-eyed five-year-old girl moving into a new town with her father. DUN DUN DUN! The ranch is an amazing place to run around (and fall into some sheep), get head-butted by a sheep, punch the sheep, MILK THE COWS, pet the dogs and cats, and ride the pony. Then the book skips to next week, when Yotsuba, Jumbo, Koiwai, and of course. The cake turns out HILARIOUS! It looks like a pile of whipped cream with Pocky, sliced strawberries, and last, but certainly NEVER least, who could forget the EGG ON TOP! I love Yotsuba's expression when she plops the egg on top of the cake, she just looks like 'BAM! TAKE THAT CAKE!' with a little gleam in her eye.

The next day, she goes over to the Fuuka, Ena, and Asagi's house, where Fuuka and Miss Stake are baking a strawberry shortcake. Then, on the day of the trip to the ranch, Yotsuba gets a fever and stays inside instead. However, she doesn't have enough money, so rather than going back and getting an eraser instead, SHE PUTS HER DAD'S RAMEN BACK! This made me laugh SO HARD I thought I was going to die.

In this absolutely, enthrallingly ADORABLE book, Yotsuba, Ena, and Miura-chan make paper-cup phones, Yotsuba goes to the store with money for two ramens and an eraser, but she gets candy instead of the eraser.
