在这部巴别塔之书动画/短片/家庭片中,在一个狂风骤起的日子，一对未成年的小兄妹（並木嵩晃 牧野由依 配音）向汽车站拼命跑去，可是他们太小了，又或许是实在来不及了，公车绝尘而去，兄妹俩只得望洋兴叹。当他们坐在长椅上休息时，发现有人忘了一本书在上面。哥哥翻开书页，里面竟放出耀眼的光芒，紧接着一尊巴别塔慢慢浮现出来。透过塔顶，哥哥看见正中央有一位表情肃穆的老者正读着一本奇怪的书，随着老者的手势，书页内变幻出各种各样神奇美丽的图案。出于好奇，他将书从塔中取了出来，却不曾想他将和妹妹经历一场惊险刺激的大冒险……
本片荣获1988年芝加哥国际儿童电影节最佳动画片奖。
The imaginative possibilities of animation and reading are intertwined in this spirited Koji Yamamura short. Two kids find a dusty book on a park bench and soon become immersed in a "Robinson Crusoe"-like adventure. They're in for a jolt, however, when their desert island starts swimming. Yamamura's painted frames swell with movement and color as the boys zoom through the literary imagination.
