Aki is a babysitter in a tough situation with a boy who refuses to participate in any activity she suggests. He does NOT like babysitters! How will this evening end? Babysitter's Unlucky Day introduces language used to invite someone to do something and demonstrates negative forms of verbs. With free access to a bilingual audio book and hiragana chart bookmark, this picture book has been written for primary aged beginners of Japanese, (ideally Year 3 and 4 Strand of the Australian Curriculum but can also be used for Year 5 and 6). Each colourful page is presented in hiragana only until the end of the story. Once the story is complete, there are easily identifiable white pages with the English meaning, clearly linked to the matching kanji page number, so that children are able to refer to this page when they are unsure of meaning as they go.
