I am learning Japanese and I need Japanese reading books. I searched on Internet, but couldn't find anything at all. Story books, even children stuff or anything else is OK. Can you send some links from Amazon or somewhere else?
I am still learning Kanji, so Furigana would be great useful.
 
ジャジャーン
日本のむかしばなし

Japanese fairy tales.
Mainly hiragana, kanji has the reading with it.

Saying 'I'm still learning Kanji' doesn't really give us much idea of how difficult a story you can read though. You see, everybody here is 'still learning Kanji'. A better idea would be to give an estimate of the number of Kanji you know. :)

If you were looking to buy books, take a look at amazon.jp

Some titles that I found interesting:
ふたごの魔法使い :)
マジック.ツリーハウス 😊
オズの魔法使い :cool:
お星さまのレール (ちょっとむずかしい。その上、鬼の目にも涙だ。):(
学校の怪談 (夜中に読まないで!) :eek:
 
I have searched high and low for a good Japanese reader. The only thing I ever found was the Naganuma series. It is old (It says the price of a train-ride from Tokyo to Shinagawa is something like 20 yen) and antiquated, but it is the best I have found so far.

The Naganuma series was great in that each cahpater had a reader, vocabulary list, grammar text, etc. The series was very easy to use.

I found some 日本語 children's books on e-bay for cheap. I bought them, read them, and sold them again. They were thick cardboard and very easy to read. Also, do a massive search on Google for Japanese Children's Books. I once found some good English retailers. Unfortunately, I don't remember the links. But they're out there somewhere.
