Japan Body & Health Picture Book

About this book

> Written and produced in Japan by Japanese author Aki Wakamatsu (Takikawa TOKOTOKO Kids LLC) — an authentic Japanese picture book, created in Japan, not a mass-produced import. 500 Japanese words of the body and health — head to toes, heartbeat to hiccups, toothbrushing to the doctor's office! Every word with romaji AND free listening audio! > > "Head, shoulders, knees and toes" is the first song every child sings — and the first words every child needs are body words: atama ga itai (my head hurts), onaka ga suita (I'm hungry), nemui (I'm sleepy). Most English–Japanese first-word books give the body a single page of 10 or 20 words.
