Any Japanese book recommendations? Id like to start reading one but its hard to find them on amazon..?

Question:


i only know about 150 kanji, so i dont want something written for normal adults..more like elementary school level type books? i gotta start somewhere ^^

any authors or anything ud recommend, even if the reading level is higher than what i need?

Answer:


There are millions of children's books with furigana published in Japan.
A large number of them are in libraries in every town in Japan and sold at second-hand book stores much cheaper than Amazon.
You'd better come to Japan and look for them by yourself.
or
You may want to visit one of the Book Off shops in the US (if you are living in the US), which is the largest second-hand book store in Japan. I am sure they will help you. Just take a look for your info:
