寿司 ・ 女の子

IMG_7146

寿司 talks about the history of sushi. It explores how sushi became a national dish for Japan. Not only that, it also touches upon how there is a variety of sushi and how one can make sushi conveniently at home.

女の子 starts out a little sad actually. The story is about a lonely girl who is trying to adjust to her new life in the city. She doesn’t talk much throughout the story, but you can tell that she is a character with many insights to the world.

I would recommend both of these books. Starting out in level 0, I never expected myself to be able to transition so smoothly when I started reading these two books. The kanji were not so difficult at all although you may have to look up some of the characters. The pictures made it easier for me to understand the stories. Both books are children friendly and have happy endings. If you’re thinking about making a jump from level 0 on the Japanese Graded Reader series, I would recommend you to consider these choices since the length of both stories are neither overwhelming or underwhelming.

  1. Those two are the first Japanese books I read! I love them, especially 女の子! The story is very touching <3

  2. あっ!このすしの本が私もすきです!日本語のクラスの友達が先生にこの本を読んでいるのとき、私はとらりに聞きました。あの時、たくさんお寿司の話を聞いて、私はとてもお腹が空いていました。學校の近くのお寿司の店に行きたかったです。とてもかわいい本だと思いました。女の子という本はみじめな話ですが、私も読みたいです。
