Rich, engaging stories and curiosity-sparking science quizzes — a very popular combination course!
Ohanashi Child RequestThe Ohanashi Child Request series carefully selects highly acclaimed titles — especially popular since its launch and well-reviewed in bookstores. Many have also been chosen as recommended books by educational organizations. These beloved classics are perfect for read-aloud time, allowing families to enjoy them with confidence and making shared reading richer and more meaningful.
Naze Naze Hakken! Quiz Picture BookThe Naze Naze Hakken Quiz Picture Book is a science picture book presented in quiz format, answering children’s “Why?” and “How come?” in a fun and engaging way. Collect all 12 volumes and it becomes a child-friendly encyclopedia-level resource. While satisfying curiosity, children naturally encounter a wide range of vocabulary and expressions. Because the text uses kanji learned in first grade, it can be enjoyed for many years — from preschool through elementary school — with the reading experience growing along with the child.
Nurture the heart through stories, and develop thinking skills through quizzes.
The two books delivered each month expand both the joy of reading and the excitement of discovering.
