Sumo Shapes by Sanae Ishida
4.0
lighthearted fast-paced

 
This was a fun way to learn about Japanese culture. It’s a baby book that looks at shapes.  It gives the English word and the Japanese word both written in English and written in Japanese. Each shape is represented somehow within the sumo culture. At the end there are other important Japanese words and cultural items to learn about. Overall, this is a great baby book fun for rereading over and over again.
