Review:

"The book mixes real photos and items with illustrations and cartoon characters so it's not 'dry and boring' for a child's first experience in art history...I would highly recommend that this book be taken along when you visit a museum of Asian art." —Castle View Academy blog

"The Let's Learn Japanese Kit is a very helpful aid when starting to learn Japanese — whether you're a child or an adult. It's also a fun kit to use together with your children." —A Mum Reviews blog

"The kit is aimed at children from the ages of 4 and up; which seems right on track, and it can be used either for individual lessons or for groups, which makes this a very flexible option for everyone." —Castle View Academy blog
