Adventures Galore! Illustrated by Makoto Wada, Shinta Cho Story Merry-Go-Round Bunkeido, Price: 1400 yen Grandpa's Stories: I was in the third grade of Kokumin School. Back then, it wasn't elementary school, but Kokumin School. The story progresses through Grandpa's stories about children in early Showa era Japan. It's also a history book. Listening to Grandpa's stories now feels like an adventure, as so much is different. Enjoying it with Grandpa and Grandma will likely reveal even more of the book's charm. #AdventuresGalore #MakotoWada #ShintaCho #KokuminSchool #ShowaElementarySchool #ShowaChildren
