This levelled Japanese reader introduces basic Japanese vocabulary through animal names and footprints. It is suitable for primary students, beginner Japanese learners, and early reading practice.

Using simple sentence patterns such as ～です and ～じゃないです, students develop basic vocabulary, word recognition, and reading confidence while learning the names of familiar animals through real-life photographs and footprints. The final two animal names are written in katakana, providing a simple introduction to Japan’s second phonetic script.

Cultural note from the author:

Animals live in many different parts of the world. Some of the animals in this book can be found in Australia, while others can be seen in zoos in both Australia and Japan. No matter where we live, learning about animals helps us better understand and appreciate the natural world around us.
