What I loved most about this book was its simplicity and utility. It is easy to understand, with bright, colorful pictures and a multiplicity of activities. My favorite was making an origami frog...which led to me making many origami frogs with my grandson. I was also intrigued by the language sounds which seem like an easy place to start learning Japanese (which my older son is doing now). I love languages so I found this part of the book especially fascinating.
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Japan or the Japanese language. This book is great both for kids and adults...even older adults like myself!
