Summary
Details

Entertaining introduction to simple Japanese words - from ahiru (duck) to yubi (finger). 336 ready-to-colour illustrations accompany Japanese characters and English transliterations.

This entertaining and instructive activity book introduces English-speaking children to simple words in the Japanese language. Japanese youngsters just beginning to read and write also will find the easy-to-follow book helpful. Spaces are provided for drawing each hiragana symbol with one, two, or three strokes.

Forty-six characters make up the basic Japanese hiragana, or alphabet, with each symbol of the hiragana depicting a syllable rather than a single letter. With these 46 characters, you'll be able to write hundreds of words in Japanese - from ahiru (duck), ame (candy) and atama (head) to yuki (snow), yuri (lily), and yubi (finger).

For each character, there is a selection of ready-to-colour illustrations of items whose names begin with that character - more than 330 words in all - along with the word in Japanese characters. A separate list accompanies the Japanese word with a transliteration and an English translation. The book also lists 58 hiragana ""modified syllables"" used to form thousands of additional words.
