Dual-language version of Japanese fairy tale with pretty illustrations
This is an ebook of the Japanese fairy tale Urashima Taro, produced by the Yellow Bird Project (きいろいとり文庫), a publisher who turns classic fairy tales from around the world into audiobooks and ebooks in both Japanese and English.
I think this series is well suited to beginner learners for a number of reasons. It presents the entire story first in Japanese and then in English; the grammar is simple, all kanji have furigana, and there are audio versions read aloud slowly by native speakers available for free on YouTube (search for the channel @yellowbirdproject4112). The production value is fairly high, with background music, different voices for different characters, and really pretty watercolor illustrations.
These ebooks can be found on Bookwalker and on Amazon.co.jp (free if you have Kindle Unlimited); it appears there are paper editions of the books available, but I've only seen them for sale on Amazon.co.jp.
