[What is Disney Gold Picture Book?]

● Disney's many masterpieces are made into picture books with full-color illustrations and easy-to-understand text. This timeless bestseller series has been loved for 40 years and has sold over 10 million copies cumulatively.

● With a moderate volume, it is especially recommended for young children. It is perfect for reading aloud from around age 2, and for first-time independent reading from around age 4, allowing for long-term enjoyment. The secret to its popularity lies in the use of "spaced writing" (wakaki-gaki), which avoids kanji, adds furigana to katakana, and makes it easy to read.

● The durable board book format makes pages easy to turn, and it's also recommended for enjoying as your child grows.
