Loved the book. Real mistakes foreign-speakers have made speaking Japanese that are great bloopers. Japanese husband and kids were rolling on the floor with laughter. Sometimes I laughed so hard tears were rolling down. Especially funny if you've lived in Japan and made mistakes yourself. Also, it's helpful if you are studying the Japanese language. Bought it for students studying English and they loved it. It's also a good Japanese culture and comparative culture study. English on one page, Japanese on the facing page, so good for both Japanese and English speakers. The illustrations are also well done and funny-- shows the situations well.
