This is a list of all the Level 3 books that are part of my own collection; it’ll be updated as I keep reading (and buying) them.<\/p>\n

From Extensive Reading in Japanese<\/A>, the definition of a Level 3 book:<\/p>\n

Level 3:<\/strong> Kana and kanji are mixed, but the book is mainly written in hiragana. Furigana is provided for any kanji in the text. The content is not only fiction, but may also contain facts or accounts of some natural phenomena. Pictures are the main feature of the book. Japanese native readers would be six to ten years old.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve added Amazon links for the benefit of having title images and just in case anyone wants to subsidize my reading, but if you’re interested in ordering any of these, I’d also recommend you look them up on Kinokuniya’s website<\/A> or YesAsia.com<\/A> and compare prices and shipping costs. They may also be available at a library near you or be available through inter-library loan; you can look them up at WorldCat.org<\/A>. Finally, if you’re in the Tacoma area, I’m setting up a weekly extensive reading group through the Tacoma Language and Culture meetup group<\/A>; feel free to join the group and come read any of these!<\/p>\n

Also, all title translations are my own unless otherwise indicated, names are family name first, then given name, and \u4f5c and \u7d75 mean \u201cauthor\u201d and \u201cillustrator,\u201d respectively.<\/p>\n
