Love this book!

The story of the book and how it introduces parts of the Japanese language have been fun to read and have been a huge help with particles and other aspects of speech.

Clever and surprisingly engaging

This is a really interesting book for kids learning Japanese. It goes deeper than a simple picture vocabulary book. It tells how to make simple sentences and write hiragana. It uses cartoon characters, but they're kind of funny, not sappy. I'd recommend the book for upper elementary grades because it's linguistically a bit hard for little kids, but middle schoolers might find it childish.

Fun, cute, approchable and teaches well

Excellent for learning. There's no romaji, so you're learning to read, really read, in Japanese from the start. You're introduced to a set of 3-5 hiragana, then learn a set of words that can be made with them then works up to simple sentences with some basic grammar points that are explained clearly in a remarkably easy to understand manner. Most often vocabulary is given with a picture and the hiragana beneath it for you to learn by reading Japanese. Each chapter is themed around a bit of Japanese culture, and the conversations and vocab you learn are based around that. It's fun and simple and rewarding to learn Japanese in Japanese.Toward the end you learn a handful of basic kanji and will have the reading comprehension to get through a letter to test your skills.All of this is presented in a friendly, easy to absorb manner with a cast of drawn characters and a fox-sensei. All of the answers to everything are right at the back of the book.My only complaint is that it could have a bigger vocabulary, but as-is it's fine and a perfect intro to reading and writing Japanese for anyone.

Great beginner japanese language book.

The book is great, lots of English early on to teach Japanese then more Japanese as the book progresses. I got it for my kid for our trip to Japan.

Very cute - comic style

I've only just skimmed the book and read the first couple of pages, but it seems very cute. Definitely meant for children so maybe I'll work the book with my 11 year old.It's designed like a graphic novel or comic both, and the kids make wise cracks. Just a cute design. Would definitely make kids laugh, but not so cheesy an adult can't appreciate the humor too.The first bit is mostly intros to the characters and a few facts about Japan, in English. They seem to teach kana and stroke order as you progress through the book, but there is a chart available in the front if you're already familiar but need to refresh. There isn't too much romanji, which I also like.There seem to be several exercises throughout and the Japanese increases. It also gives literal translation and English translation, which I personally like, because I have a hard time getting my English brain to adjust to Japanese sentence structure, so creating my own sentences has been difficult (which is why I bought this kids book at 35 years old lol).So, if you are very beginner with no prior knowledge or maybe a little familiar but need to refresh, I think this is a good book to help you get to a level of constructing sentences in 日本語
