Japanese Folktales and Fairy Tales

[Zero333863690]

Does anyone know of a site that i can use to read/buy Japanese kids tales (in Japanese)?
I'm trying to find books that have lower reading levels (only kana) to learn to read and expand my knowledge.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

All kana is a bit of a nightmare, and children's books can be quite difficult (kids can understand a lot of language). Maybe you could try something like Doraemon or Yotsuba. Since they're manga, the sentences are nice and short, with few kanji and furigana, and the topics are about everyday situations, so it's useful stuff to pick up (compared to dragons and princesses and whatnot). You won't find a Japanese person alive who doesn't know Doraemon, so you could argue it has cultural benefits as well. There was even a ドラえもん大好き芸人 Ame Talk

If you really want to try fairytales, I'm pretty sure there are some websites with a bunch (possibly with audio too). I don't remember the site(s), but if you search this forum and http://forum.koohii.com/index.php you should find a post about it.

Thanks for the reply. Yea, I just figured as simple as possible. Kids tend to learn little sentences and words as they read basic books, such as fairy tales or manga so I figured I'd start there. I ordered a couple of Bleach volumes in Japanese. I also found a book of Japanese fairytales on amazon (ended up being under "bilingual english-japanese" so it actually has both languages).

Right now i'm currently learning the Hiragana, next will be Katakana (using Smart.fm and multiple SRS') After that I'm going to purchase "Remembering the Kanji and use "Reviewing the Kanji" and more SRS' to assist in learning the Kanji. My goal is to eventually be able to pick out and read words in books and start to learn vocabulary as well (I wanted to skip the Romaji phase). The idea is to avoid translations at all costs. (I also purchased Picture flashcards with Romaji and Hiragana/Katakana words on the front, as well as sample sentences in the back of the card consisting of English, Romaji, and Hiragana/Katakana).

Anyway, that's the plan =)
I'll try reading Doraemon or Yotsuba if I can find a copy, thanks again.
