"How Japanese children live today -- in school, at home, in the country or city; what games they play; what festivals they celebrate -- is described in this simple, friendly text supplemented by many fine photographs. Mrs. Edelman takes the reader on a pleasant visit to postwar Japan, a country of great interest and importance to the United States. A brief section devoted to things American children can do to relate themselves to another country, such as learning a few useful Japanese words and phrases, counting to ten, playing a typical Japanese game, and making a collection of Japanese objects easily found in this country..."
