Book Reviews of Cool Melons - Turn To Frogs!: The Life And Poems Of Issa
Book Review: Refreshing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this book at the library to enrich a study on Japan with my 8 year old daughter. I fell in love with the whole book: the story, the writing, the pictures, the extra information in the back. It was a find! So of course, I now have my own copy. My daughter enjoyed it so much she wants to learn Japanese now.
