　《桃太郎》是日本童话故事中最受儿童喜爱的一篇古老童话。虽然经历了很多世纪后，故事的讲述形式和内容略有变动，但是大多数版本都紧紧地围绕着同样的主题：一对无儿无女的老夫妇意外地在一颗桃子里发现了一个小男孩。这个孩子长大后，立志去征服邪恶的食人怪。他带着一袋老婆婆做的小米饼上路了，途中遇到了一条狗，一只猴子和一只野鸡。后来，在这几个忠实伙伴的帮助下，桃太郎把食人怪打得落花流水，光荣地凯旋故里。
　　故事的语言简短，结构明快，生动塑造了日本的一个传奇形象——桃太郎。值得一提的是，童话在颂扬桃太郎这样一个勇敢，机智，善良，强壮人物的同时，也反映了他幼年时的懒惰，从而使这个形象变得丰满起来。和世界上其他童话相似，该故事中也用丰富的想象，为桃太郎安排了很多得力的助手，从而使故事在一系列巧合中体现
