Book Reviews of I Live in Tokyo
Book Review: Brings back wonderful memories of Japan!
Summary: 5 Stars
In this delightful little book, Mari Takabayashi very accurately portrays what it is like to live in Japan. I highly recommend this book for anyone of any age with an interest in Japan. The book is arranged like a photo album and calendar, highlighting the special traditional holiday celebrations of each month. Her watercolor illustrations are simple, colorful and just darling. It reminds me of art drawn by students at my high school in Japan many years ago. Like looking through a favorite photo album, the book brings back wonderful memories for anyone who has lived in Japan. It would also be ideal for anyone travelling to Japan for the first time, to learn about Japanese traditions and culture.

Seven-year-old Mimiko lives in Tokyo, and here you can follow a year's worth of fun, food and festivities in Mimiko's life, month by month. Learn the right way to put on a kimono and see Mimiko's top ten favorite meals-just try not to eat the pages featuring delicious wagashi!
