Great beginner book

This was my third book in Japanese, but the first that's a whole story instead of a collection of short ones. It was very rewarding being able to read a whole chapter in a day without getting exhausted, even though I still frequently need to look up vocabulary. In my opinion the most important point for language learning is the exposure to multiple verb compounds (勝ちほこる, 切り裂く for example). I didn't count but I got the impression that the majority of verbs were compounds instead of your N4/N3 textbook 見る, する, 読む etc.

In terms of entertainment, I thought it was funny, better than previous children's books I've read. Kirby is society's cutest menace.
