The book is great for children studying English. I, myslef, am practicing Japanese from the same book. Double power:) Children spend more time playing games than anything, there are dozens of games in this book. However, if you are international customer and are not proficient in Japanese, please be aware that the games are vocalized mainly in Japanese only. While the quizes are voiced in Japanese and English separately, in games, these almost always are voiced Ïn Japanese, and without knowing Japanese some games could not be completed. For example, "Lets find the cat" game, you need to select the door and then find the next one based on the clues, which are given by the neighbors. The clues voiced only in Japanese in regards of the mode (Japanese or English) selected. The same is with the phone game, when child enters the phone number and calls, the person answers phone only in Japanese inregards of the mode selected. While I understand that the book is aimed at small Japanese-native children who are probably not so proficient in English, I wish the games could be also be fully voiced in English. The book itself is great, we love it. The quizes, and games also have some sort of variation, maybe 3 variants of each, so children are not bored.
Got this book when my boy was around 14 months old, he loves it! Lots of fun games with this book, there’s a piano, telephone, cooking game, etc. love it!! Best book for baby and toddlers, I also love the red one because of real life photos.
