Kodomo no Tomo Nenchu Muke (For Preschoolers) 2021 Edition All books are free of names. I don't believe there are any writings or noticeable stains. The small booklets have creases, but they seem to be fine for reading. Eight of the books come with a small booklet titled "Enjoying Picture Books." These booklets are attached to the back cover with masking tape. I'm not sure if they can be removed cleanly due to their age, but I'm listing them as they are. Reading these picture books with my child brings back fond memories! It was a happy time seeing their various reactions. April: "Kero Kero Kyodai" (Croaking Brothers) - We were on the edge of our seats with the adventure of the frog brothers. We read it many times, delighted by the final scene. May: "Ichigo ni Narimashita" (I Became a Strawberry) - My child and I were surprised! June: "Tentoumushi-kun to Katatsumuri-kun" (Ladybug and Snail) - It felt a little sad, but it ended happily, which was a relief. My child's favorite! I hoped they would grow up with a kind heart like these two and meet friends they could understand. July: "Konya wa Hanabi Taikai" (Tonight is the Fireworks Festival) - We didn't read this one many times, but it seemed popular at the time. August: "Ba Ba Bus Bus" - The illustrations were dynamic and the rhythm was great, making it a huge hit every time! We enjoyed it so much that my child would suddenly start singing it even outside of reading time. September: "Densha de Odekake" (Going Out by Train) - My child loved vehicles, so this became a favorite. They seemed to enjoy tracing the train stations and townscapes with their finger. October: "Kodanuki Ponta no Hoshii Mono" (What Little Tanuki Ponta Wants) - This had a development that involved surprise and fear, which my child usually dislikes, but strangely, they liked it and read it many times. November: "Makkurake no Kekke-san" (Mr. Kekke of the Pitch Black) - This was also a scary ghost story, but my child seemed to enjoy it, even giggling. December: "Tora no Yume" (Tiger's Dream) - We read this book while discussing the mysterious world and what the illustrations meant. I liked it too. January: "Zou-kun no Oyuki Sanpo" (Elephant's Big Snow Walk) - This was a new release (at the time) from a popular series, so we were looking forward to it! The illustrations were as cute and interesting as expected. February: "Kikanbou no Koguma" (The Grumpy Little Bear) - Perhaps my child could relate to some parts? They cheered for the little bear and agreed with the mother's words at the end, showing they really liked it. March: "Haru ni Nattara" (When Spring Comes) - For a while, the last line became a boom, and my child would shout it at trees. Thank you for your consideration. :)
