☆International Families☆コミュのChildren books

I just wonder where you shop around for the original
edition of children books, I could hardly find some
though. I saw some novels and English learning books
at the bookstores, but there's only a scarce supply of
children books, or simply none. I did browsed through
Yahoo Japan, Amazon and Rakuten, and found some
choices, but have no idea whether they are selling at a 'normal' price or not.

Please kindly let me know the bookstores you often
visit, or any resources of good children books.
Thanks lots.

Some are second hand but they are reasonable and
some are not second hand. Maybe you can find Chinese book too if you put keywords."絵本""中国語"

I usually buy from Amazon.com or ask my family back in Canada to send some to me by surface mail. ;)

Thanks SO much,　Skeetah

　　I think I will be
pretty busy surfing through the websites you provided,
and do hope that I could find some good books for my
boy, we are really in a shortage of English books

Is there a variety of English children books in your
nearest library? I visited the city central library
last weekend and against our expectation only a limited
range of dated books we could find, it seemed that Eng
books are not very popular here. How about in your
region?

I usually go to the library to get books. It depends on your library, but usually they have a small supply of foreign books for children. The one here in Maebashi has quite a few good books donated from the U.S..

There are several bookshops in Tokyo, such as Good Day Books in Ebisu, which sells used books. Not sure about bookshops in Chiba though. If there is a Kinokuniya bookshop, they will have some children's books.

If you search foreign books on Amazon Japan, you will not have to pay a load extra for postage, and can also sometimes get some second hand ones too (although the postage differs on these ones).
