(More customer reviews)What A Wonderful Way To Expose Your Child To A Different Culture. This is a great book. I am happy to read both the English and the Japanese to my child. It has 2 different forms of art, 2 different languages, all connected together in the middle as they all meet together, in this lovely childrens book. One side starts with Carle's art as the animals meet other animals, remminicient of the "musicians of Bremmen" who all love to sing and dance. Then they meet their friend, a little boy. Then you flip the book to read it backwards (traditional japanese style) which follows the same animals as drawn by Iwwamura. They follow Carles matching each animal on each page (dog to dog/bug to bug) but the artwork is light and contrasting to Carle's. They meet their friend, a little girl, then the boy and girl and pairs of animals meet in the middle to sing a song together. It is a wonderful way to expose your child not only to another culture, but great way to get a child interested in learning another language (the animal sounds in Japanese are great fun.) For those who are looking for bi-lingual books (other then spanish) know that they are hard to find and I am glad such a wonderful and famous writter has made a great example to help bring about awareness and teach children.
