Frog Swimming Class Written and Illustrated by Kaoruko Okano Akane New Children's Fairy Tales, Akane Shobo Emi, the protagonist, is troubled by her inability to swim, and finds a small poster that reads, "Frog Swimming Class. This way."... This picture book was published in April 1982 by Akane Shobo as part of the "Akane New Children's Fairy Tales" series. It is known as a very memorable work that people remember even after they have grown up after reading it as children. It is currently out of print and difficult to obtain, making it a very rare picture book, so it is recommended. There are stains in places, and there are faint traces of a child coloring in the pictures (about 3-4 pages). Overall, there is a feeling of use, but there is no problem with reading, and I think it is relatively clean for an old book. Please also check the images, which show only some of the damaged parts. Please only purchase if you understand that this is an out-of-print, vintage book.
