"Who Is the Best Hero?" --new little book by the ninja girl

[asakiyume]

You'll remember that the ninja girl did a book on glass footwear. That was purely for her own fun. This one, "Who Is the Best Hero?" was to help the Japanese elementary school students she teaches learn adjectives in English.

It is hijōni kawaii, or as we say in English, exceptionally cute. And she gave me permission to share. Behold!

The cover page, with four little animal friends contemplating the important question, Who is the best hero?



The first spread: the little mouse votes for Turbo Tiger, while the lamb favors Care Cat:



The second spread: the panda endorses Positive Puppy, but the crocodile has eyes only for Wild Wolf.



Thing is, the crocodile only describes Wild Wolf. She doesn't say anything about anything that Wild Wolf has actually done. In the last spread, the other animal kids wait for the crocodile to elaborate--but being cute and cool is good enough for her!



The back, which I didn't photograph, asks, "What do you think?"

So my friends, what *do* you think? Turbo Tiger? Care Cat? Positive Puppy? Or Wild Wolf?

Extremely!

I think the ninja girl has a great superhero team there.

[asakiyume]

Me too! I love their varied strengths.

[sonia]

<3 <3 <3 They're ALL the best! Depends on the needs of the moment, of course.

[asakiyume]

Good point! Sometimes you need a Turbo Tiger and sometimes a Positive Puppy :-)

[dark_phoenix54]

I'd go for Turbo Tiger, myself!

[asakiyume]

Strong and effective! Good choice ^_^

[sartorias]

I think they are all totally adorable!

[asakiyume]

^_^ I love both their qualities and their looks.

[osprey_archer]

Crocodile has a point! Must heroes *do* things? Is it not enough for them to simply *be*??

[asakiyume]

Especially if they're both cute and cool!

[anna_wing]

Obviously all of them, depending on what you need them to do...there are times when the power of sheer coolth also has its uses. What a clever and perceptive child.

[asakiyume]

Yes, sometimes just ~ being ~ is its own kind of heroism!

[ellenmillion]

That is amazing. I'd have to be team Care Cat, but they are all just darling.

[asakiyume]

I love that she included the healing superpowers! I like the expression on the face of the villain whose mind has been changed ^_^

[cmcmck]

Hard to choose but if I had to it'd be PP! :o)

[asakiyume]

I love Positive Puppy ♥ ♥ ♥

[amaebi]

That is an absolutely awesome book, that's what I think.

[asakiyume]

^_^ I love her work. Her students are lucky. One of them made a card of her teaching them, complete w/mask on--it was so cute.

[amaebi]

Could you show us that, too?

[asakiyume]

I'll ask her!

[amaebi]

Thank you!

[asakiyume]

She said, and I quote, "Sure!"

[amaebi]

Ooooooh!

Thank you.

[amaebi]

Just think if Care Cat and Positive Puppy paired up.

[asakiyume]

🎶What a wonderful world 🎶

[gale_storm]

Great team with great abilities for solving things that need be done!

[asakiyume]

Yes--they make the world a better place ^_^

[genarti]

I love this! This booklet is also cute and cool.

[asakiyume]

I see what you did there--I actually laughed out loud. The ninja girl will have fun reading these replies.

Okay, that is adorable. I think my blood sugar just went up.

[asakiyume]

Quick! Look at something angry-making for insulin effect!!

[wayfaringwordhack]

The whole team is Super Cute and Fun. How could I possibly vote if it means some hero is left unchosen!?

[asakiyume]

Maybe that's the solution--they form a team! And we can support the whole team.

[wayfaringwordhack]

Team Best Heros for the win!
