Japanese Tadoku Books by Students
Smith College Tadoku Project
この本はかわいかったです。あまりむずかしくなかったです。マリアちゃんは木村さんのいえに行って、ごはんを食べます。
This book was fairly easy to read, but there were some vocabulary I didn’t know. This book teaches you about some of the Japanese table etiquette, so it was interesting. The pictures are also very cute. I would recommend this book to first year Japanese students, although it may be a little hard to understand on the first read through.

I really like this book and this is composed of two little stories. このほんはとてもおもしろくて、やさしです。 キツネは頭がいいが、ネズミはとても頭がよくなかったです。ネズミは肉をを持って、歌いました。だから、肉はありませんでした。キツネは盗みましたから.
I really recommend this book to the first year Japanese students. By telling the stories in familiar adjectives and past tense we have practiced in the class, I feel more confident when reading the Japanese books. Also, this folktale about the fox and crow could be very familiar to many of us that always has been told in our childhood. As a result, it is a lot more easier for us to understand the story. But I borrowed it from Umass library so you may check this book online.

この本はとてもすまらないです。The book describes numbers of things, such as average height, how many people live in Japan, how big Japan is, etc. There is no “story” rather it is like an informational pamphlet.
I would not recommend this book to read for fun. However, If you want to learn some Japanese statistics it would be a good choice. Also if you wanted to read it out loud to practice counting.

この本はたのしくないですが、ちょっとおもしろいです。本は、日本は小さくて、日本人はせがひくいだと言っていました。この本にたくさんばんごうがあります。れんしゅうをして！
I would not recommend this book on the basis of the story, as it was more factual than plot-based and therefore a rather dry read. However, because this book contains so many numbers to discuss the statistics of Japan, including the country’s size and the average height of the Japanese population, I would recommend that students use this book to practice reading numbers. I found that it was a challenging but helpful exercise to read the numbers out loud. Additionally, the vocabulary was not difficult; unfamiliar words could be figured out with context of surrounding words or of illustrations. Overall, the book was very educational and might prove helpful to students who struggle with numbers in Japanese.
This story gave me a warm feeling. It was the kind of story I like to read on my own so I could give it my full attention. It was fast-paced and lots of fun. The ending of the story made me laugh even though I should have expected it! The illustrations are so soft and cozy.
I would definitely recommend this story to everyone taking Japanese. Whether a beginner looking for a good start or someone who’s at a more advanced level looking to take a break, this story feels like it would never get old. It’s a book I’d like to revisit in the years to come.
この本わおもしろいです。むずかしいじゃないです。やさしくて、たのしいです。たくさんカタカナとしゃしんがあります。
This book is a great quick read, and I highly recommend it for Japanese 110 students. There is not a lot of text, and the illustrations really make the context clear. There is a solid amount of Katakana, with the Hiragana aids written above, so it is good practice for that. The story line was entertaining, and perfect for the holiday season!
この本はやみやすいです。あまりかいわがありませんで、たくさんえがあります。えはとてもかわいいです。りょうさんはいいおまわりさんです。
I recommend this book for Japanese 1 students. It’s a very simple and cute book about a policeman helping people around his town. There are a few vocabulary and phrases that we haven’t learned yet, but it’s still very easy to understand. There also aren’t a lot of Kanji so it’s a quick and easy read.
この本は、とても楽しです！かんじがたくさんあります。でも、むずかしくないです。良さんは、優しくて、かわいい人ですね。
I recommend this book to Japanese first year students. It is very easy to read with simple grammar, and we’ve learnt most of the kanji in class. There are some kanji that we don’t know yet, but illustrations will help you understand. The story is about a policeman catching crocodile in a woman’s backyard. It is a very fun story, and the illustrations are also extremely cute. It’s worth reading!
このストーリーはイソップ寓話のひとつ。とても良いです。太陽さんは優しいですが、かぜさんは親切じゃないです。でも、トーリーは簡単くで、すぐ面白いです。
I will definitely recommend this book, which is a well-known folktale, to the beginning learners of Japanese. It is quite helpful to review what we have learned since it covers a lot of phrases and new words we learned in the Genki textbook. The whole story is easy to read and readers can always figure out the meaning by simply looking at the illustration on each page. It also helps to review the grammar of the formation of adjective and verb conjugation.
この本はおもしろいです！むずがむずかしくないです。たくさんかんじがあります。でも、やさしいです。This book is about numbers, like population and area of Japan. It’s easy to read. Although there’re lots of Kanji, it’s easy to guess their meaning from the context or the pictures.
I’ll recommend this book to JPN110 classmates. Because many of the Kanji were learned in class, it’s good to review in this book. The grammar is really easy. All of them were covered in class. And the book itself is interesting. It not only introduces the population and geography of Japan, but also some cultures, like “Japanese women spend about 3 hours in doing housework per day, while Japanese men only spend 18 minutes.”
