Ninja: A ninja or shinobi was a covert agent or mercenary in feudal Japan.

Their covert methods of waging war contrasted the ninja with the samurai, who observed strict rules about honor and combat.Another essential component in building long-term retention of knowledge is to utilise the Spacing Effect.

It allows for better consolidation of information in long-term memory, and stronger connections between new information and existing knowledge. 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.

The charming watercolor illustrations include references to Japanese culture and folk tales. [picture book, ages 4 and up]
