Japanese Tadoku Books by Students
Smith College Tadoku Project
I will recommend this book or story to 1st-year Japanese students.
この本はとてもおもしろくてたのしくて難しくないです。寂しいさんの寂しい１日は私の毎日です。宿題がたくさんありますから、パーテイーにぜんぜん行きません。絵画は全部よくて、かわいいです。最後、私はれんないとやすみがほしいです。
I strongly recommend this book because the content is really interesting and realistic. This book has some words that I haven’t learnt but I can understand them in context. Reading this book is a good way to easily memorize new words. Also, it’s not difficult to Japanese first year students like me!

ゆきさんはとてもかわいいですね。ストリはおもしろいです。ゆきさんとラワラは大好きです。えはとてもきれいです。The story is about a dog Yuki and its friend, a car Rawara. The book contains lots of cute drawings and cute words mimicking the sound of dog and cat.
I recommend this book because the words are really simple, most of which we have learned in JPN 110 through lesson 1 to 7. Also, we can refresh Katagana by reading this book, because there are lots of animal sounds written in Katagana.
木村家のみんなはなかいいです。とてもおもしろてやさしい本です。にほん語１年生にもむずかしくないから、どうぞ見てください。
I would very much recommend this book to first year Japanese students, because it is an easy read and has a heartwarming, well-structured story about a family celebrating a very special day (you have to read the book to find out what that occasion is!) Also, the characters of the book are illustrated in an adorable style, which adds to the pleasure of reading this piece.
とてもきれいでおもしろい本ですよ。ぶたは小さくて、かわいいです。緑の豚が すきです！
This story was really interesting and so well-drawn! It reminded me of The Ugly Duckling, but even cuter! I would definitely recommend this story.
I think this story is meant for 110 students like us because it is rather easy, even if it is more difficult than some other Yomu Yomu Beginners’ books because some sentences are quite long! But if you like little piggies and pretty drawings, read this story!
この本はとてもしろいです。みつはさんとちよさんの一日はたのしいですね。いっしょにしゅくだいをして、ばんごはんを食べました。とてもしんせつなともだちですね。After reading the book, you will know how to discribe a conversation through a phone call, because the whole story is a call between Mitsuha and Chyosan. It is a unique and interesting book.
I highly recommend this book because JPN110 students have just learnt the sentences in this book, such as 今、何をしていますか and 別に何もしていません。This book can help you recall some grammar and sentences in Lesson 7 and also preview lesson8 such as と言います。
この本は面白ですが、ちょっと難しくて たくさん新しい単語があります。
The book introduces how Japanese people make and eat sushi, the history of sushi, as well as different kinds of sushi. It does not include a plot in the storytelling, but it’s still very interesting to read.
I would recommend this to Level 1 Japanese students who are more comfortable with Kanji, since there are a lot of new Kanji and vocabulary in the book. It is a good practice as well as one way to learn more about Japanese culture. But even if you are not that familiar with those words, you can still get the basic idea from the pictures!
I also recommend people to read it after lunch or dinner because the pictures make me hungry and extremely eager for sushi…
この本はおもしろくて、たのしです。It is about a place called 田代島(Tashirojima). 田代島でたくさんねこがいます。The cats and humans on the island get along very well and the cats are very happy there. たぶん、田代島にいぬをつれてきてはいきませんから！
I would recommend this book to my fellow first-year Japanese students because it is a quick (about 5 minutes) and enjoyable read, especially if you like cats! It also has very lovely and inventive illustrations. However, I would recommend that it is not the very first Tadoku book you read as it is ちょっとむずかしいです。たくさんかんじがありますから。
この本はとても面白いです。お正月はとても楽しいです。漫画はかわくて、きれいです。お正月の歴史とカストムを知っています 。After reading it, you will get a sense of the custom and activities of the お正月 in Japan, which is a good way to learn more about the Japanese culture.
I will recommend this book to the Japanese first year students. Because the words and sentences are not that difficult, and you can finish reading it in five minutes with cute manga! Also, getting a deeper insight into the Japanese culture is really interesting.

この本はやさしいです。漫画はとても可愛いです。大豆の作り方がたくさんあります。例えば、みそと醤油と納豆がありますね。大豆の歴史がわかって、とても楽しです。
I will definitely recommend this book to Japanese beginners. The pictures in the book are cute and the sentences are easy to understand with the manga. After reading it, not only would you learn some useful expressions, but also know more about the history and culture about beans in Japan.
このほんは、とてもおもしろくて、たのしいです。I found this book really fun to read. It describes a traditional Japanese New Year’s celebration. There are many illustrations to help the reader understand what’s going on since some of the vocabulary is new. The story is very cute and sweet.
I would recommend this book for level 1 Japanese students. It wasn’t too difficult and a really nice introduction to Japanese New Year. The sentences are short and simple and there are several Kanji that are taught by the second semester of Japanese 110 so it’s great practice.
