Just finished reading the whole series. The first few books are cute but fine, but later in the series the characters get more developed. It's always a simple slice of life, but because they go through the year a few times you get to see them celebrate a few Japanese holidays (plus some western ones as well).

For language learning the level is very easy and since there's no furigana, it's a really good series to get practice with that. Since the main characters are kindergarteners, their speech is often stylized in hiragana, so you'll often get the reading immediately after a kanji is introduced, so I found it particularly good for no furigana practice.

Overall I wouldn't have read them all if it wasn't a good series for language learning, but I did enjoy the time I spent with the characters.
