I loved it! So cute, and perfect for teaching at shogakko. It's a good for comparing what your elementary students are taught Japan vs. USA. The American children will say a chick says "tweet, tweet" while in Japan, the children learn that the chick says "pyo, pyo"

A chick exchange sounds with various animals with cute results. A very simple book.
