マイマイとナイナイ

 

この本を初めて読んだ時、私は本に出て来る漢語の意味が分かれなかったから、あまりおもしろくなかったですけど、後に漢語の意味をさがして、本の内容がおもしろくなりました。よんでください。作家は特別そうぞうりょくを持っています。小さい弟が姉の目に入ることはとても一般的ではないそうぞうりょくで生まれたと思います。

This story book is has a very creative story of Maimai and Nainai’s short adventure. Maimai finds a younger brother who is so tiny that Maimai’s parents can’t see him, but only Nainai can. When Maimai takes Nainai who lives in a walnut shell to the woods, a horse comes running at Maimai, damaging her right eye. Nainai goes into Maimai’s right eye and explores the world while Maimai is asleep. One day Nainai grabs Maimai’s dreams by the tail and pulls it in Maimai’s head, making Maimai impossible to stop dreaming.  However, unfortunately Nainai gets pulled into the dream, making Maimai to forever look for Nainai in her dreams.

チーズスイートホーム

 

高校の時、友達に「チーズスイートホーム」をオススメされました。最近、このオススメを覚えて本を読むことにしました。読んでよかったです！チーはとてもかわいいと思いましたが、チーの家族が一番好きでした。チーにリアクションすることがとても面白いと思います。

Okay, so I know that the last book I reviewed was also a light-hearted children’s manga, but I still recommend this one too. Once again, the fact that it’s aimed at children means that it’s easy to follow even if you don’t understand every word. This has more of an ongoing story, but it’s still cute and not very serious, which is nice. Chi does have a tendency towards baby-talk, which can be a little confusing at times, but on the whole it’s still understandable and a fun read.

I would definitely recommend this book. It was quick and fun, the story was engaging, and while there was enough kanji and new vocabulary to make it challenging, there wasn’t too much. Give it a try!

桃太郎

 

桃太郎はいい本ですよ。桃太郎さんは桃の中から出てきました。桃太郎さんと犬とさるときじは鬼と戦いました。面白いですよ。

I would recommend this book to first year Japanese students, although there is a lot of new vocabulary and kanji. It is an interesting story and has repetitive enough grammar and sentence structures to be able to pick up quickly.

西町交番の良さん「にわにわに？」

 

このストーリーはとてもいいです。りょうさんはすごいおまわりさんです。りょうさんはみなさんをてつだうんです。ワニがいました。さいごのパートーはちょとたのしでした。

Yes, I would recommend this book, the kanji is very easy to read. It’s about a policeman named Ryo-san. He is very helpful and in this story he helps out a lady. He helps in dealing with an alligator.

ジョンさん日本へ

ジョンさんは日本に行きました。飛行機の中で、きれいな女の子に合いました。同じい漫画を持ってきました。そして、ラフラフのはなしを始めました。このはなしは簡単で、面白いと思います。読んでくださいね。どころで、辞書を見ないほうがいいですよ。とてもとても簡単ですから。

Unlike the other explanatory books I have read so far, this story has some interesting plot lines. Although the story could easily happened in any other context, I enjoyed this book. I would recommend reading it just for a change, but for those of you who want to target books specifically link to Japanese culture or classic tales, maybe you can skip this.

タクシー

This book was a very sad book towards the end, and it was a surprise a bit. The story line was very good and easy to understand. These three characters are important for the story and its plot. The colors throughout the book were great, and the illustrations made it seem like dream-like story.

I recommend this book to anyone, the kanji are very easy to understand, about two words to look up but if you can continue to read you already understand where the story is going. A lot of the verbs we already know. Overall, just a nice story to read if you want a surprise.

笑い話

 

この本はとても面白いですよ。本の中で、たくさん小説があります。小説はちょっと変ですよ、でもかいがはきれいです。This book is a collection of several very short stories. Some are interesting, and some are a bit strange. But the illustrations are very nice!

I’d recommend this book to any first year student who wants a fairly easy read with not much new grammar. The short stories are fairly easy to understand and the pictures are nice to look at.

笠地蔵

 

このほんはとてもよかったです。たくさんきれいえがあります。おじいさんは親切な人だと思います。うれしい本です。

I would definitely recommend this book to other Japanese 1 students. It is easy enough to read, with only some minor grammar points I didn’t understand, and I knew much of the vocabulary as well. It is a heartwarming story with some very beautiful and unique illustrations.
