The Ohanashi Child Request series carefully selects highly acclaimed titles — especially popular since the magazine’s launch and well-reviewed in bookstores. Many have been chosen by educational and reading organizations as recommended books. These beloved classics are perfect for read-aloud time, allowing families to enjoy stories with confidence and making shared reading richer and more meaningful.
Super Wide Challenge Picture Book — “Kotoba to Kazu (Words and Numbers)”
An interactive educational picture book where children count numbers and encounter language while enjoying mazes and seek-and-find activities.
As they become absorbed in play, foundations for literacy and numeracy naturally develop. The extra-wide pages expand the experience of searching and discovering, sparking conversation between parent and child.
Nurture the heart through stories,
and build the foundation for learning through play.
A perfectly balanced “just right” pair of books that’s easy to continue at home.
