Japanese Tadoku Books by Students

I would highly recommend this book to other Japanese 110-111 students because it uses grammar that they would know, and it also uses kanji that they should have already learned. The drawings are very simple, neat, and nice to look at. I definitely like the use of simple phrases like いただきます as well.に
この本はかわいいです。私のとまだちわかきました！この本はむずかしくなかったです。ピンクのぺじがすきです。
I recommend this book for any first year students. The conversation uses a lot of the vocabulary that we have learned in class and the plot is very relatable so it is a lot of sentences and topics that you are likely to say and hear. It is very useful to read for studying or practicing.
本はおもしろかった。サンタさんはどろぼういました。りょうさんはどろぼうをつかまえました。クリスマスはよかったです。
I would recommend this book because it is not a difficult read but it is very interesting. If you like books about the holiday season and happy endings, you will enjoy this book! The illustrations are also really pretty and make the book more fun to read.
I would definitely recommend this book to other people wanting to find on-level readings! The drawings in this book were really beautiful, and I loved the small details that the author included like the captions on the Polaroid pictures and how Hoshiko’s name was written in the stars! I hope to see more books like this!
とてもすごい本です！この本はいっさつじゃないーこの本は二さつです。まんがです。かわいです。大好きですよ。
The format was so cool. It was two books in one. There were two stories, one about a lonely cat and one about a lonely bird. The bird’s story starts “front to back” and the cat’s story starts “back to front” (to American readers). Then their stories meet up in the middle of the book when the characters meet. It’s such a cool idea.
I highly recommend this book. Not only was it a cool idea, but I appreciated that the vocab and grammar was all stuff we had covered. I don’t think I had to look anything up, and I understood the story. This is one of my favorite Tadoku books by students I have read. Also, it looks like the drawings are hand drawn, and that’s really cool.
京子のはつこいはラーブの本です。ときどき新しいかんじがあります。でも、ふりがながあります。
I recommend this book because it was a nice story. It made me want to continue reading and find out what happens.
リニダのりょこうは楽しいです。かわいです。この本がすきです。
It was a book about a giraffe who was looking for friends. It took me awhile to get through. The vocab was mostly genki vocab, which was nice. So I didn’t have to look up a bunch of words.
I recommend this book. It was fun to read and not too hard.
最初にはちょっと話がりかいできませんでしたが、あとでわかりました。とても面白くて、ふしぎな話だと思います。私は読んでかんどうしました。だから、皆さんもあきらめなくてさいごまで読んで見てください。
I would like to recommend this story to my classmates, because it has a very good plot that keeps you curious, and it has a pretty good ending that makes you look back on your own life and be grateful. It might be a little confusing in the beginning, but you’ll get the story in the end, and the grammar and vocabulary isn’t too difficult.
黒子はとても面白ですが、ちょっと悲しいと思います。私は読んだ時、本当に感動して、泣きたかったです。黒子はすごく可愛くて、頭がいい猫ですね。私は猫を飼っていませんが、この本を読んだ後、猫が飼いたくなりました。でも、ペットが死んだ時、私はたくさん泣くかもしれません。だから、まだ、ペットを全然飼っていません。
私はこの本をすすめます。単語はあまり難しくて、とても面白いと思います。黒子が大好きです。それから、挿絵もすごく綺麗です。漫画のスタイルなので、大好きです。
とても暖かい話で、私は感動した。おばあさんとおじいさんはとても優しくて親切な人たちだし。いい人だので、いいことがあるんだね。
I encountered a lot of grammar points and vocabularies that I just learnt when I read this story. Also the pictures are really cute and the art style is dreamy. This story could heal. I highly recommend this book.
