It is well known that reading aloud is effective for a baby's language development and strengthening parent-child bonds. Takahashi Shoten's board book series is designed to be read even before traditional picture books. The latest titles in the series help improve language skills by utilizing "onomatopoeia," which is effective for babies learning words, and by leveraging the concentration required for "searching" activities.
"Kotoba wo Oboeru Oto no Ehon: Korokoro, Goron" is packed with onomatopoeia, such as "korokoro" and "gachan," allowing children to enjoy the connection between sound and object movement.
"Kotoba wo Oboeru E-sagashi Ehon: Inai-inai, Doko da?" features "searching" and counting activities, similar to games like "peek-a-boo" or "hide-and-seek" that babies love.
Both books are filled with features that activate the brain and help children learn language while having fun. With a durable board book format, they are perfect for use at home or on the go.
[Kotoba wo Oboeru Oto no Ehon: Korokoro, Goron]
Stimulate your baby's brain while watching pictures change along with sounds! This book allows children to enjoy changing pictures on the left and right, learning sounds and object movements together. It also introduces words that express feelings, such as "surprised" or "fun," nurturing both the brain and heart.

The act of "searching" provides significant stimulation to a baby's brain. By communicating with parents through questions like "Where is the rabbit?" or "Where are the two apples?," children learn words quickly. Searching, counting, and pointing activate the baby's brain, and the colorful illustrations also help teach colors and shapes.
