Am I small? わたし、ちいさい？: Children's Picture Book English-Japanese (Bilingual Edition) (Editions in 200+ Languages)

Started learning Japanese and this is a cute way to learn new words.

This book is adorable in every way. The art is gorgeous and imaginative, and oh, so colorful. The story, too, is wonderfully written. For those of us who are very early into learning Japanese, the romanji was a wonderful addition, though when trying to read with the Japanese characters alone, it can be a little distracting. I must read this book several times a day to my daughters, and I love it so much I tend to read it on my own for Japanese practice. Anyone interested in learning Japanese, or reading in Japanese, or bilingual books in general should check out this book.

Such a cute book, highly recommend!

This is a nice little book not only for children but also adults like myself that occasionally enjoy children's picture books. The illustrations are lovely I had a wonderful time enjoying the few minutes of this simple story mainly because of the nice artwork.I cannot comment on how well the Japanese translation is as I am only a beginner to the language.The only reason why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the lacking of Furigana. Especially if it's a story for children. Kanji like 顕微鏡 for microscope can be difficult.

Artwork is amazing! Such lovely pictures and a charming, heartwarming story. My 18-year-old daughter got this for her niece (my granddaughter) and reads it to her regularly. My six-year-old granddaughter loves this book! The pictures are incredible, she loves to look at the friendly feast monsters. And she is actually learning to say the words in Japanese! Wonderful to watch them together!

I am learning Japanese in college right now. We are mostly learning the formal/ lightly casual ways of speaking. This book has super casual phrasing, which I thought would be nice to look at in a way to get used to what it looks like. It's very nice that it has both hiragana, romaji, and the English translation. It's a really cute book for a young kid, but I also think it's a good idea to use it as a learner (considering your concept and skills on the language at the start is the same of the kids who reads these kinds of books) I really like it!

Book is very cute, however the romanji should not be used as a pronunciation guide if you are starting to learn Japanese; the romanji is a direct translation of the hiragana. I would have given this a 5-star if the romanji wasn't there.

I appreciate the simple clarity of the book. I'm able to follow along with the Japanese well enough. It only has a few pieces of kanji so I'm able to read most of the book. I'll just have to be brave and look up the kanji. Ha.The quality of the book is very nice and well printed with good color saturation. The artwork is fun, and the story is very sweet. It has a positive message at the end and I'll enjoy using this book to teach myself and my son Japanese.
