How about reading aloud world-famous stories and Japanese folk tales? The illustrations are very cute and lovely. [Stories] - Chikaratarou - The Country Mouse and the City Mouse There are no marks or stains, and it's in very good condition. Please note that there may be some minor scratches as it has been stored on a bookshelf. We have been reading aloud extensively to children from 0 years old. Especially when they are young, their ability to understand what they hear is excellent. It has been proven that reading aloud 10,000 times by the age of 3 expands memory circuits, strengthens vocabulary, and trains reading comprehension and the ability to listen carefully to others. I am also selling other picture books. I will combine shipping, so please take a look.
