While beginners to Japanese can get a lot from this, hiragana knowledge is required.
* All kanji have furigana
* All vocabulary is listed with English under each paragraph
* The full story just in Japanese is also provided so you can practice reading without interruption
* After each story, we also provide an English summary. We recommend avoiding this until after tackling the Japanese, but if you need a little help, this summary should give you a hint.
* Two MP3 recordings of the story. One slowed down for comprehension and one normal speed.
