Review of Colors of Japan
Many children show all kinds of interests from an early age, and it would be good to teach them about different things through fun activities. For example, an original and colorful picture book can be an exciting and fun way to learn almost anything. Colors of Japan by Arianna Gopez is a children's book that provides interesting facts about Japan in an entertaining and interactive way. By reading this book, children can easily learn some fascinating facts about another country and culture.
The book is written in the first person from Arianna's perspective. Her mother lived in Japan for a year, and Arianna has learned a lot of interesting information about Japan from her. Throughout the book, Arianna gives the reader various intriguing facts about Japan and Japanese culture. Some of the information relates to Japanese television, food, martial arts, traditional clothes, and the Japanese writing system. The whole book is illustrated, and the sentences are short, clear, and precise, making it ideal for younger children.
What I like most about this book is the fact that children can learn many interesting things about Japan in a charming and entertaining way. Even I, as an adult, have learned some interesting information that I did not know before. Also, I like that some of the original Japanese words in the text are also written in Japanese script. In addition, the illustrations are very vibrant and colorful.
The biggest complaint I have is the length of the book. I wish it was longer, and I think the author could have added more information and unusual facts about Japanese culture and history. Also, I would say that the illustrations lack originality. They could have been much more engaging had they been hand-drawn with watercolors, tempera, or crayons. Moreover, the book has some grammatical errors, but they did not affect my reading enjoyment.
I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. The rating would have been higher if the book had been a little more original in terms of illustrations and more extensive in terms of content. I would recommend Colors of Japan primarily to lower elementary school children interested in learning about new cultures and countries.
