This is a sturdy hardcover picture book. The text and illustrations are on separate pages, and furigana (phonetic guides) are included, making it perfect for reading aloud or for children to read themselves. It has been stored at home on a bookshelf, so some of the color from the illustrations has slightly transferred to the text, but the condition is relatively good. Please understand that there may be some oversights as this is a personal inspection. Bonus ☆ Although the condition is poor, I will also include "Kintaro" and "Alice in Wonderland." #ClassicLiterature #FairyTales #ReadingAloud
