My First Japanese Kanji Book is an inventive and unique introduction
to kanji for children.
Written by the mother-daughter team of Eriko and Anna Sato, this lovely
book introduces 109 kanji characters to children with poems and
illustrations. It includes all the Japanese Government-specified
first-grade level kanji characters and a sprinkling of simple second to
sixth-grade characters.
The kanji are introduced in the context of 36 colorful paintings and
poems by 14-year-old Anna Sato, herself a kanji learner. Each of the
poems is presented in both Japanese and English, and all kanji are
accompanied by furigana (small hiragana letters), stroke-order diagrams,
sample vocabulary and boxes for writing practice.
A charming and educational volume, My First Japanese Kanji Book can be
used as a self-study text, a supplementary material in Japanese language
schools or a gift book for family or friends. An MP3 audio CD reinforces
learning and ensures correct pronunciation.
