怪談レストラン 1 幽霊屋敷レストラン

An enjoyable collection of ghost stories for children. The stories are short — about 10-15 pages or so — and self-contained with no over-arching storyline. Because it's for kids, none of the stories are gory or even that scary, tbh, but it's cute in a macabre way.

Because it is aimed at children under 10, many words are written out in hiragana instead of with kanji, which for a language learner is problematic as it can make parsing sentences laborious and doesn't give you many opportunities to practice your kanji. Most of the kanji that are used do have furigana; only the most basic kanji do not. The grammar seemed to me slightly more advanced than what I've read in other children's books, but not by much, still perfectly manageable at an N3 level, maybe even to a determined N4.
