The stories are in both Japanese and English. There are cute illustrations throughout the book. I would recommend this for beginners once they have learned hiragana and katakana, there is some kanji with furigana above so it is still legible without any prior kanji knowledge. Review: Entertaining short stories with many aids to learning - I enjoyed these little stories. Each is presented first with just the Japanese text (including furigana) and illustrations, then some notes on vocabulary and a Q&A (also only Japanese), then the story again with English translation. The presentation if the material is atteactive and clear. The level might be a bit of a stretch for me still, but I think that is probably about what I need. On first pass, I would understand parts but still be flipping to the translation pages to check or remind myself of particular words - though the illustrations also provide hints. I've already read the previous Level 1 volume 1 which is also good, and also one at Level 2 which is a good challenge though I'm a little way from being able to just read it!

Good format and lenth enjoyed the stories
I've tried lots of similar reading resources and really liked how this was laid out. I'm glad they chose not to have romaji in the Japanese story section (I find it too distracting because I can't help reading it first) The stories are easy to get through in one go, and the questions at the end are helpful for recap. Great for practice on your own or with friends.

Fantastic Format
The format of this book is fantastic, and the stories are simple, straightforward and use uncomplicated language. The addition of quizzes at the end of the book are also a great way to reinforce what you’ve read and widen your language comprehension. However, the books are a bit short. This book is under 100 pages on kindle. The print version is probably shorter. It would be great if there were a few more stories per book. Also, two books per level is probably not enough content before you move on to more difficult language.

Świetna książka dla początkujących !
Bardzo podobają mi się te książki do ćwiczenia czytania prostych zdań po japońsku. Te oznaczone Level 1 mają też więcej ilustracji, żeby móc lepiej zobrazować sytuację czy zaprosić czytelnika do interpretacji kanji nawet bez uprzedniej ich znajomości. Oczywiście trzeba znać przynajmniej hiraganę żeby móc czytać te opowieści. Dla mnie było też bardzo pomocne przestudiowanie partykuł i konstrukcji zdania, ale oczywiście nie jest to konieczne, gdyż czytanie właśnie takich opowieści ma nam to przybliżyć. Obecnie mam dwie książki z tej serii (druga to Level 2) i pewnie zakupię kolejne. Zdecydowanie polecam początkującym.
