5.0 out of 5 stars invaluable for the purpose for which I used it
I bought this book in its Korean translation, during the height of the Pocket Monster craze. I then read this book to the class in my own English translation, I was thus spared all the inane "pika's" and "booboo's" which you see mentioned in the other reviews. This gave the class practice in the verbs "goes outside," "runs,"...

2.0 out of 5 stars Disturbing
This story was a very disturbing story. It is a picture of a dumb, unsucsesful in life, little mouse, and I believe it puts stupid ideas into the minds of little children. I think that a much more educational book is Come Out, Squirtle, because it teaches a very important lesson: better be safe than sorry, but it is nice to take a chance once in awhile.

This review is from: Pokemon Tales, Volume 4: Pikachu's Day (Board book)
I bought this book in its Korean translation, during the height of the Pocket Monster craze. I then read this book to the class in my own English translation, I was thus spared all the inane "pika's" and "booboo's" which you see mentioned in the other reviews. This gave the class practice in the verbs "goes outside," "runs," "eats dinner," "sleeps." The students enjoyed the Pikachu character so much that they forgot that English class was supposed to be a drudgery.

I had only one problem: I bought one copy, it got stolen, I bought a second copy, it got stolen, and the store was out of stock when I tried to buy a third copy. That's why I'm ordering from Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Certainly just for babies, August 5, 2000
This review is from: Pokemon Tales, Volume 4: Pikachu's Day (Board book)
This book was cute, but it is something that was certainly intended only for toddlers. The book has no educational value, like most of the other Pokemon Tales books. Using words like "boo-boo" and other childish themes, this book would be great for a little toddler who's just starting to like the Pokemon.

1.0 out of 5 stars Basic, January 2, 2000
This review is from: Pokemon Tales, Volume 4: Pikachu's Day (Board book)
This is a very basic baby book that takes Pikachu throughout his day. Diaglog is "Pikachu goes out Pika-side. Pikachu Pika-runs..." It could be fun for preschoolers with older siblings who are interested in Pokemon.

3.0 out of 5 stars STRICTLY for tiny tots!!, October 26, 1999

This review is from: Pokemon Tales, Volume 4: Pikachu's Day (Board book)
Although this book stars the most popular Pokemon of all, Pikachu, don't expect that any kids old enough to follow the Pokemon series will enjoy this board book. It is a baby book in the strictest sense of the term! Could, however, be a great book for a tiny sibling of a older Pokemon fan.

1.0 out of 5 stars Baby-talk in a baby book, October 10, 2000
This review is from: Pokemon Tales, Volume 4: Pikachu's Day (Board book)
I hate Pikachu, so this is a good product for me to spread my hatred of the little yellow rat to all.

"Pikachu goes out-pika-side..." ...nani! What in the world...? My god, such bad, bad grammer!

"Pikachu pika-runs". Pika-runs? How do you do that? I guess you have to be a pudgy yellow ball of mangy fuzz to do that...

This book is strictly for the tots. The under-three crowd would probably have a better understanding of this book than even the most revered Harvard graduate.

The "I'm Not Pikachu!" book is insanely hilarious, and one of my favourites since even the main character obviously can't stand the rat.

But this book? This pile of Pika that is dared to even be called a book? Buy it for the infants. They'll probably love it. (Mainly since almost all the inafants I've known know how to say "Pikachu" and they say it VERY well... *shudder*)

But if you're an older fan, don't bother. It's too idiotic. -_-
