{"product_id":"my-first-hiragana-activity-book-dover-bilingual-books-for-kids","title":"My First Hiragana Activity Book (Dover Bilingual Books For Kids)","description":"This entertaining and instructive activity book introduces English-speaking children to simple words in the Japanese language. Japanese youngsters just beginning to read and write also will find the easy-to-follow book helpful. Spaces are provided for drawing each hiragana symbol with one, two, or three strokes.\nForty-six characters make up the basic Japanese hiragana, or alphabet, with each symbol of the hiragana depicting a syllable rather than a single letter. With these 46 characters, you'll be able to write hundreds of words in Japanese — from ahiru (duck), ame (candy)‚ and atama (head) to yuki (snow), yuri (lily), and yubi (finger).\nFor each character, there is a selection of ready-to-color illustrations of items whose names begin with that character — more than 330 words in all — along with the word in Japanese characters. A separate list accompanies the Japanese word with a transliteration and an English translation. The book also lists 58 hiragana \"modified syllables\" used to form thousands of additional words.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0486413365\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0486413365.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Green, Yuko\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43240758411325,"sku":"BVV.0486413365.VG","price":5.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0486413365-0.jpg?v=1780092961","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/my-first-hiragana-activity-book-dover-bilingual-books-for-kids","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
