この本はたのしくないですが、ちょっとおもしろいです。本は、日本は小さくて、日本人はせがひくいだと言っていました。この本にたくさんばんごうがあります。れんしゅうをして！

I would not recommend this book on the basis of the story, as it was more factual than plot-based and therefore a rather dry read.  However, because this book contains so many numbers to discuss the statistics of Japan, including the country’s size and the average height of the Japanese population, I would recommend that students use this book to practice reading numbers.  I found that it was a challenging but helpful exercise to read the numbers out loud.  Additionally, the vocabulary was not difficult; unfamiliar words could be figured out with context of surrounding words or of illustrations.  Overall, the book was very educational and might prove helpful to students who struggle with numbers in Japanese.

 

この本は面白いです。でもちょっと怖いです。I think this book is interesting but it is also a little bit horrible. This book is about a story happening among an old man, an old women and a bird. At the end of the story, the old women received a box of monsters from the bird because of her greed. The picture of the monsters was terrifying. The story is warning the readers to not be greedy by using the horrible picture of monsters to terrify readers, which I think is smart.

I recommend this book to all Japanese students who like to read stories. This book might be easier for students who know more kanji to read, because there are many vocabularies and kanjis that first year Japanese students haven’t learned. However, students, without knowing many kanjis and vocabularies, still can get the idea of the story through the pictures.
