Door 2: Japanese Culture Day (Book task)

ちびまる子ちゃん 2 - Momoko Sakura

 

 

 

Book: Read a graphic novel or a book set in a school or academic setting.

 

Chibi Maruko Chan is in the third grade. She is kind and clumsy. It captured the life of a child in Japan, like having all the Japanese festivals, homework including a diary to record what one has done for the day. Exchanging dairy is also a custom in deepening friendship. 

 

I couldn't find the store of Vol 1. So I picked this one.  

 

Book: Read a graphic novel or a book set in a school or academic setting. A stay at mom who yelled at her for not doing her homework and a grandfather who would do whatever she wants. 

 

The kid strategy to buy snacks (big deal in Japan) for limited money. Spent 1/4 of the money buy the sweets or snack for yourself. Then use the rest of the money to buy the largest quantity of snacks for snacks exchange with other kids. 

 

It is a fun read.
