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.Book Review: Very Sweet and Nostalgic
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book while my family and I were living in Japan, and knowing we would move someday I bought it for my son. We've recently moved out of Japan and now this book makes me a little weepy because it's so spot on! Every little detail in the pictures reminds me of home, and my son loves reading the Japanese words.Book Review: paperback book
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a Kindergarten teacher and I teach a unit on Japan. I liked this book for the children. It had a lot of details. It has a lot of words on the pages, but I read the pages to the children. They were very interested.
