5.0 out of 5 starsGreat reader for the Japanese learner!
By Pommity on April 24, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This reader is a fantastic learning resource for the Japanese student. This book includes the stories "Momotaro" and "Usagi to Kami". Several different reading options for the stories are presented along with English translations and a full glossary of words, so this reader is suitable for all levels. Furigana are included for all kanji as an additional learning tool. Downloadable mp3s complete the learning experience. Having this on my iPad makes it easy and smooth to take my Japanese studies wherever I go!

4.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for the beginner who wants to have real world reading
By Anderson Godoy on January 18, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Really nice book for those who are just beginning in the study of Japanese.

PROS: As long as you are able to read Hiragana and Katakana, this book has everything you need to understand the text. From grammatical notes per sentence, to full Kanji text, it covers different levels of beginners in Japanese language. Furthermore, the book is written in a progressive form, so that difficulty increases as you advance through it. Lastly, it also includes the story of the tortoise and the hare, I do not know why is not advertised since it takes about half of the book’s length.

CONS: There is a significant number of format errors (mainly lack of spaces between words). Though this does not radically affect comprehension, it does disappoint; hopefully there will be an update with better edition.

CONCLUSION: If you are just starting in Japanese language and would like to have a story to read at your level, this is a good option. You can also get several stories with similar format from the same publishers.

4.0 out of 5 starsA great option for Japanese learners
By K. S. Walter on February 12, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This is a great item for people who are studying Japanese and are advanced beginner to intermediate level. It gives several option on how to read the book, either in Full Japanese writing, just Furigana with spaces for beginners trying to learn them better, or for those who are interested in an older Japanese tale in English the translated version is there. I'll admit I haven't read it in English so I cannot comment on it's accuracy in translation.

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
It is good to be able to read and have the translation available immediately. I find myself reading it over and over till I know it pretty well by heart without turning back to the translation.

I am a beginner in Japanese so this book is a good place to start. I take private lessons and my teacher is reading this book to me on tape. I can use the tape to try and imitate her. Perfect!

Really easy to read and helpful and motivating to continue. Don't expect too much from the story though it's a little bit boring.

This book was free when I got it. The notes are really helpful! There was an occasional typo, but it didn't disrupt the experience.
