Mei cares deeply of her mother Yasuko who is the nearby hospital for an unspecified illness. She gets into an argument with Satsuki when she finds out their mother wouldn't be returning soon. She takes it upon herself to go to the hospital and ends up getting lost. Only with the efforts of Satsuki, Kanta, Totoro and Catbus do they find her unharmed. When I first saw this book I was very OHMYGOD-JUMP-UP-AND-DOWN-TOTOROOOO. I still felt that way when I started reading, both because I love the My Neighbour Totoro movie, but also because the book itself is really beautiful and kinda magical with pictures in it and on the cover. So I was really looking forward to reading it but it soon became clear that the book is not really like the movie.Granny takes a shine to Mei, who sees her as the grandchild she never had. She is patient with Mei, knowing that her mother is indisposed at the hospital. She is terrified of Granny's farm animals.

Untungnya buku ini ada ilustrasinya shg saya tidak kesulitan membayangkan sebesar apa Totoro, cat-bus yg sesuai namanya, bus ajaib berbentuk kucing dan kucingnya hidup. Dibandingkan fantasinya, porsi slice of life-nya lebih besar.

I've been waiting for the right moment to read it and decided now was the time. It baffles me that no matter what, the stories Hayao Miyazaki makes always enable you to emerge yourself in a new world. I know this book wasn't written by Hayao Miyazaki but Tsugiko Kubo did an amazing job at writing this book.
