Countries in the News: Japan
by Kieran Walsh

Review by Akiera

Kunichiwa!  Are you curious to know facts about Japan?  Whether you want to know how the land is, the (popular) foods they eat, or just want to know what religions they serve, don't worry, Countries in the News: Japan is a great book to read to learn about Japan.  Open the book and take a ride through the book.  You will learn that the four main islands of Japan are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoko!  You will also learn that sushi is REALLY  called sashimi.  You will also learn that the two main religions are Buddhism and Shintoism.  How exciting!

I enjoyed this book because it taught me more than I ever know about Japan!  I recommend this book to elementary kids grades 3-5 and middle school grades 6-7.  This book is amazing!
