Recenzii
"My Awesome Japan Adventure is lush with specific, intriguing details about the Japanese culture and the lives of Japanese children and families. It's the voice, though, that will win kids over. Otowa smartly chose to write about Japanese culture, using the point of view of Dan, who, at the end of the book, vows to come back to Japan." --The Children's Book Review
"I liked this book […] I liked what Dan learned, and I thought that he made some pretty fun choices. At the end, he hoped he would be coming back soon." --Miriam, age 10, City Book Review
"…the story and illustrations will hold a child's interest with comparisons to Japanese and American culture written in a voice they can easily identify with." --The Japan Times
