Weeks 1-12: listing 10 different Ninja Skills in each of the mental strategies, timestables and key skills sections Use this hilarious picture book for any child expecting a new sibling, particularly for a girl preparing for new baby brother! Nina was a ninja baby from the start, wanting to do everything by herself and excellent at advanced infiltration. The ninja are introduced not as magical or almost mythical people, but rather as supreme martial artists who have reached the highest level and seek to progress further. It is suggested that by becoming ninja they strive to advance to an even higher plane, gaining skills such as haragei, or sensing the surrounding world in a different manner. However, we soon learn this is not without a high personal cost. Ninjutsu – Secret Tactics, Techniques & Mindset Concepts From The Ancient Japanese Ninja by Tim Delavier This book isn’t specifically based on Ninjutsu but is also focused on Samurai culture in general. As Ninjutsu borrows from the Samurai, this book is a nod to the culture and behavior that Ninja’s would live by. In brief, it shows the moral code of ethics on how to live a stoic life and the principles used to do so. Hagakure also looks at ‘Bushido’ which translates to the ‘Way of the warrior’. Whilst this doesn’t have many practical, training techniques – it is still nonetheless a fascinating read. Even if you’re not into Ninjutsu or martial arts at all, Hagakure is fun to go through.My son delighted in this easy chapter book series when he was in first and second grade about a Japanese ninja family with special abilities to turn into their spirit animal. [easy chapter book series, ages 6 and up] Another essential component in building long-term retention of knowledge is to utilise the Spacing Effect. The Spacing Effect is the idea that learning and retention are improved when studying is spread out over time, rather than being concentrated in a single session. It allows for better consolidation of information in long-term memory, and stronger connections between new information and existing knowledge. Linnear's investigations reveal Saigō is the ninja and this puts him on a deadly collision course with his older cousin. Think of this easy chapter book as a gateway drug for reading for boys who are also gamers. If they love Ninjago — it doesn’t matter what: the lego sets, the TV show, the graphic novel series — just hand them these books. There are only four but they really get boys reading. My kids are one-quarter Japanese and they wish that their Japanese ancestry is steeped in the way of the ninja. It’s not. Their heritage is actually that of Daimyo, a feudal landowner/warlord, and our ancestors are located about one hour outside of the city of Hiroshima.

Late at night, when all is quiet and everyone is asleep, a ninja creeps silently through the house in search of “treasure”. Ed Young’s wonderful illustration help to set up the surprise at the end. [picture book, ages 4 and up]

This is my kind of martial arts book; a beautifully illustrated picture book by Emily Arnold McCully who never wrote a bad book. It’s a semi-autobiographical story about the Shaolin Temple monks who developed and train in Kung Fu martial arts as part of their spiritual studies. He must stop a hungry Daimyo (warlord) from developing a powerful new weapon from the west that would threaten the fragile peace finally established in Japan. Daimyo: The Daimyo were the powerful Feudal lords in pre-modern Japan who ruled most of the country from their vast, hereditary land holdings. Subordinate only to the shogun, daimyo were the most powerful feudal rulers from the 10th century to the middle 19th century in Japan. There were about 260 daimyo by the end of the feudal era. For today, October 10th or 10/10, I have 10 ninja books ranging from picture books, early chapter book, chapter books, and young adult. So it’s 10 on 10/10! The degree of interleaving in the sequencing of the questions in the Ninja Skill Books is phased in across the weeks which increases the level of challenge for students steadily over time.

This book is ideal for learning about the fighting tactics of Ninja’s and as the title suggests, it’s all illustrated too. Sometimes, descriptions are helpful but without visual aids, it can be difficult to try and learn purely by reading. Because of this, The Illustrated Ninja Handbook has you covered. This book is ideal for beginners too as it covers a lot of the basics and is quite basic in its approach. It is basically a step-by-step guide on how to incorporate Ninjutsu into a fighting scenario. There is nothing more fun, in my mind, than a fractured fairy tale … except for a fractured NINJA fairy tale! And this one even rhymes in an unusual but run to read A BB CC pattern!
