Description ★A hit series chosen by 3 million readers worldwide★ The 9th story in Noriko Kudo's 'Rowdy Meows' series, which has captured the hearts of readers everywhere—Here We Go, Ramen Shop!—has arrived! "These greedy little Meows charge straight for delicious food without a thought for the consequences! I can't wait to see what they get up to next. This picture book feels like a bright, clear Saturday." _Picture book author Baek Heena "Full of lovable humor. In this picture book, young readers get to fully indulge in the desire to say, 'Let's do it again, all of it, all the way!'" _Children's literature critic Kim Ji-eun "They're back with a story as steaming hot as ramen, meow!" With their yellow fur, round bellies, short little limbs, and mysterious expressions that always seem to be hiding something, the troublemaking Meows are back. This time, they've set their sights on Mr. Bowwow's ramen shop. Watching the satisfied faces of customers filling up on piping-hot ramen, the Meows just can't hold themselves back any longer. The moment Mr. Bowwow and Mommy finish their morning business and head out with their cart for the afternoon shift, the Meows sneak quietly into the shop. "All right, let's make some delicious ramen!" Having watched Mr. Bowwow make ramen so many times, it's a piece of cake for them. Boil the noodles, pour on the broth, top it with a boiled egg and chopped green onions—delicious ramen, complete! "Easy, easy!" But just as the Meows are about to take their first bite, they hear a knock at the door. Could it be Mr. Bowwow and Mommy coming back? Hearts pounding, they creep over and open the door slowly—only to find an old grandfather monkey collapsed under the weight of a huge stone! Behind him stands a long line of baby monkeys carrying baskets of unripe persimmons. One, two, three... a whopping ten of them! "Please, give these children something to eat. Their bellies are practically stuck to their backs..." At the grandfather monkey's words, the Meows don't hesitate to share their ramen. They even portion it out into small bowls so the baby monkeys can eat more easily. It turns out the grandfather monkey is the elder of the monkey village. A monster attacked their village and destroyed all their fields, leaving them with nothing to eat. While the parent monkeys went out to search for food, the elder led the children out to look for something to eat as well. But the Meows seem more curious about the stone the elder is carrying than about the monkeys' hardships. "Grandpa, what's that stone, meow?" At their question, the elder begins to explain, "This is a magical stone passed down in our village for generations..." But just then, a shrieking "SCREEECH!" echoes from the rooftop. The monster has come to steal the magic stone! Can the Meows and the monkeys protect the magic stone from the terrifying, fire-breathing monster? The picture book that both children and adults eagerly await! 'Rowdy Meows' is a beloved picture book series that has sold over 3 million copies worldwide. The eight Meows—who can't resist their curiosity, must eat whatever looks delicious, and always do exactly what they want—are just like our own children. Even knowing they'll get scolded if Mr. Bowwow catches them, they can't help but cause mischief again and again, chasing that thrilling happiness of doing whatever they please. That irresistible urge to 'go all out and just do it' is perhaps the secret behind the series' popularity. But by the ninth book, the Meows finally show some real 'growth.' While they still can't resist sneaking into an unattended shop, this time they show a surprisingly grown-up side by sharing their ramen with the baby monkeys, who are even hungrier than they are. And that's not all—without anyone asking them to, they even step up to help the monkeys stand against the terrifying monster. It seems that whenever Mr. Bowwow asked, "So you know you did something wrong?" and they replied, "We know, meow meow," they really meant it after all. The Meows were able to grow this way because they were given both the freedom to make mistakes and the chance to make things right. In looking back on their actions, considering others' situations, and working to fix their wrongs, they've grown deeper in thought and wider in heart.
