Good First Read That Might Teach You a New Food

The story is short and easy to read. It features several food items, one on each page、 with the name of the item below it, and then on the following page, it says if the actual namesake for the item is present in it or not.

The formula follows through to the end with the last page saying that the character is now full.

Cute and good story.

Great intro book for people who've just learned hiragana and katakana

A cute and simple introduction to basic food and animal vocabulary, along with one grammar point (がある・がいる). Easy to follow with the pictures. Only gripe is that it could be a bit longer and show more examples of the grammar difference between inanimate and animate things.

Good for anyone who wants to dip their toes into reading something entirely in Japanese.

Word dump with barely anything to encourage learning except just expanding vocab

It feels boring and it lacks any depth, while for a beginner it doesn't really give a challenge except for a few vocab words

Perfect for a beginner level reading

I am a beginner-level reader, and this book was perfect for learning new & easy vocabulary. Each page had one or two words and a basic grammar pattern. Picture depiction was also very helpful to understand.

A short reader about food.

I would recommend this reader to somebody who has not read native materials yet. (approx 1-2 months of study) This was too easy for me after 5 months of study but I decided to revisit it since I didn't understand it before.

The book states what different Japanese foods are and says what ingredients it does or doesn't have in it. The food looks delicious--especially the curry bread.

It is a great way to learn a few new words pertaining to foods and animals. If you already know the vocab then it's a great way to get some reading practice in and feel a sense of accomplishment.

Learnt a phrase and different foods & animal names

I like the cute drawings, and the different pictures made it very clear without needing a dictionary. I learned "I'm full"(「お腹いっぱい」) and different names of animals and foods. It shows how to use あります and ありません, and when to use は and が.
It's a very beginner book, so I recommend for a very first beginner's book.

Good for ultra beginners, people who are learning hiragana, katakana, あります・ありません and います・いません. It's just sentences about what foods have or don't have, accompanied with pictures to help learn the vocabulary.

Cute—good illustration of ある use

Learning the name of foods in any culture is fun. Learning proper usage of ある while learning names of Japanese food is fun, too! I enjoyed the audio read along version. It would be perfect for an absolute beginner.

A good beginner read that will make you feel hungry

This short read introduces vocabulary related to various foods, which are easy to understand due to the pictures. Readers only need to know あります/います and the negative conjugations for each.
