Japan Fairy Tales & Folktales Coloring Book for Kids

About this book

50 story pictures from Japan's most beloved fairy tales — color the tales as you read them!

A giant peach floats down the river… a boy rides a turtle to an undersea palace… a tiny princess arrives from the moon! This coloring book turns Japan's classic folktales into 50 big, bold pictures made for little hands (ages 4–8).

Inside you will meet: Momotaro, the boy born from a giant peach, and his friends Dog, Monkey and Pheasant Issun-boshi, the one-inch hero with a needle sword, and mighty Kintaro Urashima Taro, who rides a turtle to the Dragon Palace under the sea Princess Kaguya, the shining princess from the moon Kind-hearted tales of a flowering tree, a thankful crane, a teakettle tanuki, the six Jizo in the snow, and a runaway rice ball

Every page shows the picture's English name in big letters, the Japanese word in romaji, and one fun line that tells the story — so children follow each tale page by page while they color. Scary fights and blades are left out: these are the meeting, adventure and treasure scenes, safe and friendly for young children.

50 all-new pictures — about twice the 25–30 pages typical of kids' coloring books Bold lines and big coloring areas, perfect for crayons and first markers A gallery page and a "Great Job!" certificate at the end A gentle first step into Japanese culture and Japanese words

Print the pages you love, pick your brightest colors, and let the stories of old Japan come to life!
