This book is okay in that it is a board book which is what I was looking for, but not what I expected for the price. It's worth about $3, but I bought it for $8! It's like they didn't ask a native Japanese speaker to proofread before printing the English/Nihongo version. The two big mistranslations are "bedroom" translated "toifuku" (which as far as I could tell is a word that doesn't really exist according to every other Japanese dictionary I looked in, but is the kanji for "clothes" with a "to" in front of it--very strange) & they use the word "ge" (body hair) for "hair of the head" which should be translated "kami". Also, they randomly used only hiragana for some words & only kanji for other words. For example they have the kanji for "honyuubin" (baby bottle) & hiragana for "cat" & "dog" which are much more simple kanji; and they use the kanji for colors (fairly difficult), but hiragana for numbers (which again, are much simpler kanji). I had to at least write the furigana for all the kanji, some of which I didn't know & had to look up in another dictionary because I'm only an intermediate beginner & it took a couple evenings (something I wasn't expecting to have to do). I don't dare try to write kanji in my beginner handwriting in permanent marker. I do know enough, though to know this book isn't really worth it, especially if you're looking for a quality bilingual board book dictionary for a 1-5 year old. That is, unless you are already bilingual & can translate it yourself.Besides that, the illustrations aren't really that nice. I feel like I could have done a better job myself. Where are the quality Japanese-English board books? I have several Maisy books from Japan that are translated very well and despite the choppy artwork are still cute.
