This book is a tour of all things Japan introduced by a young girl named Satchiko. The pages are loaded with information about daily living, school and home, customs, food, art and history. There is a guessing game as well as comparisons between Japan and America. An additional section called “Preparing for Your Visit” will help future travelers get ready for their trips to the featured country.

An index, glossary and table of contents are strong non-fiction features and the colorful layout lends itself to browsing as well as deeper reading for information. Recommended!
