Hi! It's me, Tama! When it's so hot like today, I don't feel like eating anything. But Grandpa Makoto and Grandma Nobuko are energetic as always. They're going to pick something delicious from their friend's field, or so I heard. Just whip up something tasty for me, will you?

Hi! It's me, Tama! What do I do when I eat too much? I just nibble on some leaves. They're gentle on the stomach. Speaking of leaves, Grandpa Makoto and Grandma Nobuko went to see the autumn colors. That reminds me of a seasonal chestnut sweet called kuri-yose! I'm getting hungry again!

Hi! It's me, Tama. In winter, I never stray far away from my warm friend, Mr. Stove. But Grandpa Makoto and Grandma Nobuko are off to see our neighbor to learn how to make pickles. Not me. I'm staying right here. The only thing I need to know about pickles is how to eat them!
