Import Friendly Living Book (non-game)
This was a really nice title. Three stories have a Japanese language mode and English language mode.

In the Japanese mode the pages are interactive. The Text is in the top. You can use the stylus to touch on the screen to make different things move around and sounds activate. In special areas a bunny with a microphone will come out in the touch screen area and you can speak (anything) into the mic to make some sort of action happen. Like with using the stylus only the imput is sound.

In the English mode you it will display the story in the top screen so it is not interactive but it will read it to you in English. Also displaying the English text and Japanese text (if selected).

Both versions you can mute the storyteller, and read to yourself. Using the on-screen commands to turn the pages, or using the L and R buttons, in a right to left style. (so pressing the L button moves the story forward)

The other features of this title is a casual puzzle. Not much of a puzzle but more like put the stickers of a storys characters in the right place as well as the hirigana letters in their right place for the title of the story. Next is the piano. Gives you a simple keyboard to peck out a tune with, also including a record and playback. The last feature is the drawing pad. Plenty of your basic colors to choose from.

This is a nice title My children enjoy it and I like to use it to practice my reading (Japanese).

For what it is (a living book basically) it does the job quite well. Adults might not get a lot of replay out of it but children (the target audience) love to read and watch things over and over. At this great price for a DS title it was hard not to pass up. I plan on getting the rest in the seiries. I think there should be 6 more volumes in all, but they may release more!

A diamond in the rough for kids
I bought this cartridge for my 4 1/2 year old daughter, thinking I could tell her a story using the DS with the English text. It turned out the cartridge even has English voice-overs! I am so pleased I bought the remaining 2 volumes. Each catridge has 3 stories in english and japanese, as well as some fun puzzles, music and freehand drawing. If you have a child and want to provide a fun and friendly DS environment, get this!
