"Baby sumo wrestlers introduce the concept of opposites in this bilingual Japanese board book. I am learning Japanese through Duolingo and I found this very helpful as I don't know all these words."--Pragmatic Mom"I'm a Japanese speaker and enjoyed the presentation of sumo culture in these creatively illustrated and thoughtfully written board books by Sanae Ishida. I even learned a few new words!"--The International Examiner
"These bright books teaching about opposites, colors, and shapes are filled with humorous pictures, and are that perfect amount of cheeky. Just lovely."--Asian Lit for Kids
