結婚式（けっこんしき）

とてもおもしろい本です！しらないことばがありましたが、しゃしんはてつだいました。ぶんぽはわかりやすかったです。この本は日本の結婚式について話しました。新しいことをおしえました。私はこの本を好きでした。

This was really interesting book about Japanese marriage ceremonies.  I learned a lot from this book, like the sort of clothes the bride and groom wear at a wedding ceremony and some of the things they do.  There were quite a few new words, but the pictures were very helpful in determining what the unknown words mean through context.  The grammar was also all forms that 1st year Japanese students have already learned, so that part made it easier to read too.  I highly recommend  this book to 1st year students!

スーパーで 「お母さんは、どこ？」

スーパーで 「お母さんは、どこ？」はとてもかわいいと思います。りんちゃんはおもしろい子どもだと思います。お母さんはとても しんせつだと思います。この本が大すきです。

I thought this story was told very well. The drawings get across the story very well and also work great as cues for new words. This story is also useful to review te-form and reinforce some lesson 7/8 kanji. I would recommend this story to any Japanese 110 student.

京子（きょうこ）さんは、森（もり）に行（い）きます

この本はかわいです！

私はこの本がすきです、やさしておもしろいですから。

This book is from the point of view of a cat. If you love cats you will love this book. It was easy in a good way. I could read the whole thing easily without missing any meaning. It utilized many different grammatical structures that we’ve learned. I give it 5 stars.

ジョンさんバスの中で

この本は面白くて、難しくないと思います。ジョさんは毎日バスに乗ります。たくさん人に会います。おばあさんはとても面白いです。私のおばあさんもいろいろなところを切るのが大嫌いだと言いました。

This book talks about two stories of John. The first one is very funny and real. The elder people generally don’t like clothes with holes. The second one is also funny. John was late for school because he went to karaoke and drink alcohol last night, which is what hangover really looks like. The book is not difficult for JPN110 students. Though there are some new words, you can understand them in context. I strongly recommend it because the content is really good.

ジョンさん日本へ

この本はおもしろくて、むずかしくないと思います。ぶんぽとたんごとかんじはぜんぶかんたんです。絵もきれいです。

This book is about ジョンさん going to Japan and his date with ゆきささん. I think the story itself isn’t that interesting, but the grammar, kanji, and vocabulary usage are really useful for Japanese 110 students, for it’s basically only using what we have learnt in class. So I highly recommend this book to Japanese 110 students. It’s easy to read and a good review for final exams.

冬のさんぼ

冬のさんぼは　とてもおもしろくて、すごくきれいでした。冬が　すきです！

I really liked that story, the drawings were so pretty. I wish I was able to draw like this! The story was interesting as well even if it was sometimes hard to read because the black writing overlapped the drawings!

I definitely recommend this story!

寿司

この本はとても面白いです。ストーリーがありませんが、インフォがたくさんありますから。私は寿司を作って食べるのが大好きです。だから、この本を読んで寿司の歴史と作り方をたくさん勉強しました。いろいろな魚の名前もたくさんあります。挿絵は可愛いです。いろいろな寿司の挿絵と写真があります。

I recommend this book. It talks a lot about the sushi culture. I learned all kinds of sushi and the correct way to eat and make sushi. I learned what 回転寿司 is. 新しい漢字があります。ちょっと難しですが、わかりました。挿絵は本当に助けましたから。

みつはさんは、ちよさんに、でんわをかけます。

みつはさんは、ちよさんに、でんわをかけます。ちよさんは、みつはさんのてつだうとききました。すうがくのしゅくだいは むずかしいから。

This was a really easy book to read because senpai only used the grammar and vocabulary we learned. However, I felt like the story shifted a little too much from helping Chiyo with math homework to discussing what to eat. It felt like they were planning to go hang out instead. Therefore I gave the book four stars. But I highly recommend to 1st-year students.

ジョンさん日本へ

この本はとてもきれいです。アートスタイルがだいすきです。でもジョンさんは、ゆきさんがすきですか。ゆきさんも、ジョンさんが好きですか。次のチャプターはどこですか。John meets Yuki while taking an airplane to Tokyo because they had the same manga. When they said goodbye to each other, they realized they accidentally switched their mangas between themselves. Three months later, they went to see a Kabuki dance together, but later realize they accidentally got the wrong date.

This book is, in my opinion, easier to read than 笠地蔵 because most of the kanjis are words we already learned, and many of the kanjis that people might not recognize are words we already learned, just not in kanji but in hiragana. I will recommend this book to the first-year Japanese students.

桜

この本は綺麗です、私は大好きです。This book is about sakura, it introduces the timing of sakura blossoms, and it shows how sakura is in everyone’s life.

I love the paragraph when the book says 桜の下で…今も、昔も， it is not like the sentence that we learned in class, this one is more poetic, beautiful.

I would recommend this book because it is easy to read and also beautiful in its language.
