Description
On their sixth adventure, Chirri and Chirra bicycle beneath the waves, discovering the beauty of coral and the deliciousness of marine edibles. Chirri and Chirra are pedaling along when they find a cave. At the end of the tunnel, they see a light. Oh! They are under the sea! They pedal through a maze of color and pass through an opening in the seaweed, into a scene of seashells of all colors and shapes. Naturally, they come upon sea treats, such as parfait à la conch and marine soda jelly topped with pearl cream.
This is the happy, lovely world of Chirri and Chirra, where they stumble on the most wonderful surprises. Born in Tokyo, Japan, Kaya Doi graduated with a degree in design from Tokyo Zokei University. She got her start in picture books by attending the Atosaki Juku Workshop, held at a Tokyo bookshop specializing in children's books. Since then she has created many picture books featuring her delicate color-pencil drawings.
She lives in Chiba Prefecture and maintains a strong interest in environmental and animal welfare issues. Since the earthquake of 2011 she has been active in recovery and shelter efforts for abandoned pets.

The sixth outing for Chirri and Chirra finds them deep under the waves, where a delightful adventure awaits. They have fancy desserts, watch a fish song and dance revue, find a cave full of treasures, and then it's back on their bicycles to pedal up to the surface. Throughout thier underwater visit, they are welcomed and given gifts. The children seem pleased but not especially surprised by their fantastic surroundings and the hospitality of the anthropomorphic undersea creatures. Adorable illustrations show a softly shaded wonderland with many small details that reward careful looking. VERDICT Best for one-on-one-sharing, this gentle tale will charm both established fans and newcomers to the series.—Sarah Stone, San Francisco Public Library
