Though I'm not sure how useful this is as a tool to teach children Japanese, I loved it for a refresher for the most basic and common words. My Japanese vocabulary is pretty lacking and it is fun to see the pictures and associated words. Our girls have fun looking at the very busy illustrations and they love looking for the little ducky on each page. We also have this book in Russian.

I'm not sure I needed these particular Japanese words ('sawdust' sticks in my mind as not that useful).

The first book I bought to study Japanese and it is very basic with all words written in romaji and with pictures.

Would recommend to young kids and people starting out with Japanese but its not much use after that.

It is great book for Hirigana reading's practice along with the romaji assistance. It boosted my spirit towards learning jap.....honto sugoi desu ne !
