This book is a collection of stories that we especially recommend for first graders. You may already know some of the stories, but please read them anyway. You might discover something new. If you find a story you like, please tell your family or friends about it. This book introduces traditional Japanese and world stories with beautiful illustrations. It includes 12 stories such as "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Farting Princess." It's in excellent condition, having only been read once. I was reading it without the cover.
