Thank you for looking. This set includes two books from the collection of a former nursery school principal, perfect for reading to children about to start school. One is a rare older edition, and the other is known as a masterpiece among masterpieces. [Set Contents] ① "Ashita Enso-ku" (Tomorrow, Field Trip) (Pictures and text by Miho Takeda) Theドキドキ (doki-doki - heart-pounding excitement) and ワクワク (waku-waku - excitement) the night before a field trip. This book nurtures the joy of looking forward to "events" in a new environment. This is a rare older edition, the predecessor to the currently published "Ashita Enso-ku Ran Ran Ran." It features the dynamic and warm illustrations of Miho Takeda's early work. A book filled with excitement that is now difficult to obtain. ② "The Boy Who Always Came in Last" (Written by John Burningham) A boy who gets caught up in unbelievable events on his way to school, and a teacher who doesn't believe him. The contrast between a child's imagination and adult logic is amusing, and it's a world-renowned masterpiece that stays with you even after you grow up. The translation is by Shuntaro Tanikawa! [Recommended Points] By reading "Ashita Enso-ku," filled with simple anticipation, and "Itsumo Chiko-ku," which is slightly surreal and profound, together as a set, children can develop a multifaceted perspective and rich sensibility for elementary school life. The older edition of "Ashita Enso-ku" will also be nostalgic for parents who grew up with this picture book, making it a precious opportunity for two generations to enjoy it together. [Condition] ① Ashita Enso-ku: There is some age-related yellowing on the first and last pages, but it is not very noticeable, and the inner pages are very clean. ② Itsumo Chiko-ku no Otoko no Ko: There are some age-related stains on the top and bottom edges of the book, and three dents on the back cover. One of the dents is shown in the final image. We hope to pass this on to someone who can appreciate the charm of a well-loved vintage item. It does not affect the enjoyment of the story in any way. The book comes with its obi (book band). #EntrancePreparation #JohnBurningham #MasterpiecePictureBook #ReadAloud #ElementarySchoolPreparation #Graduation #FormerPrincipal'sPictureBookShelf #UsedPictureBook
