 My nieces enjoy this book August 3, 2008
They really like how the two future-parents run around frantically so as to not embarrass themselves with their poor eating skills.
It's probably not very accurate for today - I'm sure that most Japanese can use Western utensils, just like most Americans today have some familiarity with chopsticks (my nieces sure do) - but it's still a charming story.
 cute culture marriage and comparison April 20, 2007
very cute story about differences in American and japanese food etiquette, utensils, etc and overcoming differences to end in a marriage of cultures...a little questionable about the age of the girl who is dating an American sailor...but otherwise a cute story..(back then, not uncommon to get married young....)
charming March 27, 2007
my daughter has dozens, hundreds......SO many books......and yet she asks for me to read this one over and over again.....there is some simple sweet charm about it......and tonight, she read it to me.......i think part of the sweetness of it is the child's perspective of the parents' relationship.......i can't think of another book where a child tells about the parents falling in love.....it is unique and charming.....

This story is sweet and a great way to teach children about culture. No matter what culture you are you can learn to get along.
 Beware the Overt Generalities March 2, 2006
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
It's helpful that this story is from a child's point of view, but it does not excuse the generalizations. Use it as a reference - as social authentication - of multi-ethnic relationships, but it is a dated work that carries the overt stereotypes of the time. Dress, behaviors, and erroneous beliefs mark the story.
