Quite funny and enjoyable. In some ways more difficult than a lvl 25 novel

Yotsuba is completely in her own toddler-like world, and greatly enjoying it, regardless of what's going on. It's funny to see the adults having to deal with Yotsuba's whims.

In terms of difficulty.... The content is super simple, but the phrasing and slang will be brand new to anyone coming from a textbook. Beyond that, I sometimes found words a bit more difficult to parse than when reading a novel, due to the lack of Kanji. For example, there was a bubble with the following:

はっ

しーん!

Due to the lack of Kanji (combined with my lack of experience), this looked like two sound effects, or nonsense. I later found out that it's 1 word, and a word I would have recognized with Kanji... But you need to become familiar with this type of writing/speech if you're getting into manga.
