He climbs to the summit of a mountain and views the sunrise while drinking a cup of hot chocolate. Instead of physically setting out for one place or another, Kuma-Kuma travels freely all over the world - inside his head. Once again, Kuma-Kuma Chan charms as he exemplifies the joy of a simple, peaceful, life. With its spare text and delightful illustrations, this small-format picture book invites readers to explore their own imaginations and create their own travels. Review: Travel anywhere your imagination wants to take you - This is the third book in the Kuma-Kuma Chan series. It has a wide fan base in Japan, especially appealing to young women, and is now spreading its wings to be enjoyed across Asia, Europe and North America. Kuma-Kuma Chan is a sweet adorable little bear (kuma means "bear" in Japanese) who lives all alone in the mountains. Because of his isolation he loves to travel and explore the world ... well in his mind anyway. He envisions flying off to to a warm island where he can lay in the sun and nap... well in his head anyway. He dreams of climbing to the top of a high mountain and watching the spectacular sunrise while sipping a cup of fresh-brewed coffee... well in his writing anyway. He flies up in the sky like a bird, time-travels back to before he was born to find out what animal he was in his previous life... but only in his creative mind. His travel fantasies soothe and comfort him. He is free to explore, visit and savour his trips to anywhere his psyche leads him. He documents his various itineraries and sends them to his friend, who is narrating his story in messy, illegible handwriting, which frustrates the receiver. Kuma-Kuma Chan's scribbled notes leaves the boy's own imagination open to interpret the little bear's travelling adventures. The friendly boy wishes him well wherever and whatever the little guy is up to and hopes one day to see his buddy one more time. The text is simple, the illustrations are soft, muted and uncluttered. The mood is calm and peaceful. The book encourages readers to explore their own imaginations and follow where their creative thinking takes them. I highly recommend this book and the other books in the series. Review: Let Kuma-Kuma Tickle Your Imagination - I received a copy of Kuma-Kuma Chan's Travels for free, in exchange for an honest review. Kuma-Kuma Chan's Travels is a sweet little book aimed at a younger audience (probably 6 or 7 and younger). Immediately when starting this book, you are drifting off in your imagination with Kuma-Kuma. We travel to all kinds of different places and 'see' what Kuma-Kuma sees while there. The writing is simple and easy to understand. The illustrations are cute and relate perfectly to the story. You can control the speed of the book by elaborating on the imagination aspect, or you can zip through it using just the story at hand. It's a great versatile book that will be read again and again. I love the Kuma-Kuma books and recommend them to anyone that's interested in expanding not only their Library....but their imagination as well. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #10,852,922 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,516 in Children's Bear Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 19 Reviews | ## Images ![Kuma-Kuma Chan's Travels - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31nPP5SoxpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Travel anywhere your imagination wants to take you *by S***S on September 15, 2017* This is the third book in the Kuma-Kuma Chan series.

But adults, who are crestfallen, because everybody seems to be travelling and sharing pictures on Facebook and Instagram, and they are stuck in there bedroom and backyard, should read this book. The little bear and the minimalist illustrations meditate on the beauty of travelling without leaving one's own home. What is more beautiful than looking at the stars from your own roof, and writing about listening to stars to your friend? Kuma-Kuma Chan is that kind of a traveller and he is inspiring that way. Whenever travel feels like a distant dream, join Kuma-Kuma Chan in his adventures. :) --- ## 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.co.uk/products/47533327-kuma-kuma-chans-travels](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/47533327-kuma-kuma-chans-travels) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
