If you saw the film - this tells you all the bits that got missed out! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All good *by S***E on 20 January 2026* Good quality Lovely cover design ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect story to brighten up a gloomy day *by L***D on 11 March 2023* Kiki's Delivery Service follows a young witch and her cat, Kiki and Jiji, on their coming of age adventure in the town of Koriko. Whilst in Koriko they use their skill at flying to their advantage and open a delivery service to help the people of Koriko. If you're a fan of Ghibli, as I am, then you may go into this book with an idea of what to expect. Whilst the Ghibli movie follows loosely what happens in the story, it has been adapted so reading this book is like experiencing Kiki's story in a whole new way. Although this book is written for children, I found it delightful. It was playful and chock-full of fun and interesting characters, my favourite being the woman obsessed with belly bands (iykyk)🤣 I'd recommend this story to children and big kids alike, especially those who are a fan of Ghibli like I am. With its 195 page count and gorgeous illustrations, this story can be used to brighten up a gloomy day💕 ## Frequently Bought Together - Puffin Kiki's Delivery Service - Viz Media, Subs. of Shogakukan Inc My Neighbor Totoro: The Novel --- ## 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.us/products/232709051-kikis-delivery-service-1-a-puffin-book](https://www.desertcart.us/products/232709051-kikis-delivery-service-1-a-puffin-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
