Ok read!
This was my first read back when I had just finished Genki II and an anki sentence deck.
Just as the other review mentioned, since it is directed at kids, it is full of non-kanji words and onomatopoeia. It makes it hard to understand at times, especially if your vocabulary is low. I didn't have much experience reading before reading this, besides simple textbook-like sentences, so it was definitely a challenge at first.
Nonetheless, I will say this is still an ok book to start with. The predictability of the story can be helpful whenever you get lost. Also, if you are looking to read more books for kids, the constant use of onomatopoeia will help you learn some common ones for your next reads.
Overall, a bit boring but I still picked up a bunch of vocabulary and onomatopoeia :)
