The pages are very cute and are a great way to keep organized, and in addition to the calendar, there's an address book section, a place to record ID and passwords for websites, some extra pages to write notes in, and a cute character page of the Sumikko characters (although it's in Japanese). There's some Japanese here and there but it's not necessary to be able to read it to use the book!! Highly recommend! Durable material :) The book has a plastic cover.
