Fifth grader Dan records his experiences living with a Japanese family in a small village outside Kyoto. His "notebook" covers his impressions of food, school, martial arts, bowing, the tea ceremony, ninja, calligraphy, comic books, games, snacks, holidays, and more. Both the text and the cartoonlike art are often lost in the gutter, but the colorful book is jam-packed with solid information.
