The companion book to the beloved animation classic My Neighbor Totoro, by legendary Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki . Featuring artwork taken directly from the movie, this updated edition will allow parents and children to relive Totoro's magical adventures with scene-by-scene illustrations and character dialogue. Eleven-year-old Satsuki and her sassy little sister Mei have moved to the country to be closer to their ailing mother. While their father is working, the girls explore their sprawling old house and the forest and fields that surround it. Soon, Satsuki and Mei discover Totoro, a magical forest spirit who takes them on fantastic adventures through the trees and the clouds--and teaches them a lesson about trusting one another. Review: An engaging companion book to one of the sweetest Miyazaki movies - My seven-year-old and I have been ardent fans of Studio Ghibli movies, and have gradually amassed quite a collection of the animated features. I've also been building up a library of the picture books as they contain many of the beautiful, vivid artwork found in the feature films and the text in each book capture the essence of each movie. The story of "My Neighbor Totoro" is simple and sweet without being overly cloying. A father and his two daughters, Satsuki and Mei, move to the countryside whilst their mother recovers from an illness in the hospital. There, the sisters discover that their home is haunted by benign spirits and the younger sister Mei discovers a creature named Totoro which is a forest spirit (he looks like an oversized bunny). Totoro is a sight to behold - his large appearance and loud growls belie a gentle nature, one which is in harmony with Mother Nature. One night, as the sisters wait for their father at the bus-stop, older sister Satsuki finds Totoro standing beside her in the rain. The sisters then witness an unusual sight - a cat which is also a bus, which looks like it was inspired by Lewis Carroll's Cheshire cat! There are no villains in this charming and engaging story, and I found that quite refreshing. Even the mother's illness is vague and not a real cause for concern except perhaps in the later part of the story when Mei goes missing trying to find the hospital her mother is in. My daughter could not get enough of Totoro and begged for repeated viewings. She loves the giant, endearing creature and would watch with rapt fascination each time Totoro appeared on screen. She first watched Totoro when she was five and is still a great fan two years later. There is a magical quality about Studio Ghibli movies that make them classics one will want to watch over and over. I loved the gentle ecological message of being in harmony with nature - Totoro bequests a gift of seeds to the sisters which they plant in their garden. This is a sweet story perfect for any age, and the book makes an excellent companion to the movie. Review: Must-have for young Totoro fans! - My 3 and 4 year old love Totoro and are so excited about this book. They love looking at all the pictures and talking about all the different scenes, and the story is something you can read a couple of chapters at a time for bedtime every night. The outer dust cover is so adorable, and the cover of the book itself is gorgeous. Overall I am so happy with this purchase. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #13,175 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Individual Directors #325 in Manga Comics & Graphic Novels #645 in Fantasy for Children | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 1,507 Reviews | ## Images ![My Neighbor Totoro Picture Book: New Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Rd6IjcSWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An engaging companion book to one of the sweetest Miyazaki movies *by Z***S on March 21, 2012* My seven-year-old and I have been ardent fans of Studio Ghibli movies, and have gradually amassed quite a collection of the animated features.

The outer dust cover is so adorable, and the cover of the book itself is gorgeous. Overall I am so happy with this purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My 2 year old LOVES this book and so do I! *by T***R on December 31, 2025* This book is perfect! My 2 year old is barely transitioning away from board books and into paper hardcover books. She was absolutely captivated! So much that she wouldn’t let me put the book down and we read it in two nights (which is about 40 minutes total). The pictures to words ratio is spot on, the storyline wasn’t at all butchered by summarizing for younger minds, and it was easy for her to understand enough to enjoy. Best of all, this book was enjoyable for us to read as parents/adults. What a relief it is to not have to count with Sesame Street’s Count Dracula for once. ## Frequently Bought Together - My Neighbor Totoro Picture Book: New Edition - Ponyo Picture Book - Kiki's Delivery Service Picture Book --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/3595452-my-neighbor-totoro-picture-book-new-edition](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/3595452-my-neighbor-totoro-picture-book-new-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
