Customized Folktales features Rachael's retelling of the VERY FUN & VERY SILLY Japanese folktale called Box of Treats. The story is all about how hard it is to keep a box full of homemade botamochi treats held steady while walking down a path that has sudden obstacles. Your child(ren)'s name(s) will be narrated into this audio story, so that they become the one(s) walking the path, trying to make it to the destination with un-smooshed treats!
