A Gift from the Window
Santa came for Christmas! He went from house to house handing out presents, but it seems this Santa is a bit forgetful.
He thought it was a cat’s house and gave a ribbon as a present, but it was actually a pig’s house—the pig was just wearing pajamas with a cat pattern.
This is a lift-the-flap picture book with holes where the windows are, so when you turn the page, a different animal appears than the one you expected.
Will everyone be happy with Santa’s unexpected gifts? Don’t worry—the story wraps up nicely in the end, so you can read it with peace of mind!
The Jolly Mailman’s Christmas
On Christmas Day, the mail carrier sets out on a journey to deliver letters to friends in the world of fairy tales.
Familiar characters like the Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Wolf make an appearance! And amazingly, this picture book comes with lifelike envelopes, letters, cards, and a mini picture book, so with every page you turn, it really feels like you’re receiving a present.
It’s packed with exciting “open the letter” surprises.
The bright, lively illustrations are drawn with fine detail, offering new discoveries every time you look.
Finger Puppet Book: Mr. Reindeer
As the title suggests, this picture book comes with a reindeer finger puppet.
Kids can actually move it with their fingers, so they’ll be totally fascinated—and absolutely delighted! The feel of the reindeer and the act of putting a finger through the hole are fun activities for children.
Even if parents move it at first, as the child grows, they’ll be able to move it themselves and enjoy it.
It seems the reindeer is setting off into the sky with Santa, so you can soak up the Christmas spirit while playing with it.
Christmas☆Theater
Colorful and a little quirky—but absolutely bursting with fun! On Christmas night, the forest animals, snowmen, and even Santa himself take the stage as the uproarious “Christmas Theater” begins.
With sprawling, full-page illustrations and playful, rhythmic dialogue, it feels just like watching a Christmas musical.
The large, vibrant artwork makes a striking impression, and the bouncy lines are so fun you’ll want to read them out loud.
A definitive, feel-good Christmas picture book that brings a smile every time you open it.
Christmas Black Bear
This is a Christmas-themed volume in the “Ohanashi Kurokuma” series.
Little Kurokuma writes letters to his forest friends, inviting them to a Christmas party he’s hosting.
Everyone will bring gifts, and they’ll do a gift exchange.
On the day of the party, the exciting gift exchange begins.
Wondering who will receive what, children will feel as if they’re taking part themselves, their hearts pounding as each present appears—and they’ll delight in the surprises.
We hope this picture book helps children feel the joy of choosing and giving gifts.

Find the Christmas decorations
Let’s go look for decorations for the tree with Mr.
Polar Bear! Hidden throughout the picture-book illustrations are all sorts of ornaments.
As you read the story, lift the flaps and discover the decorations together with Mr.
Polar Bear.
This delightful book, with a Christmas theme children love, draws readers right into the story.
Finding decorations yourself and turning them into a beautiful Christmas tree is sure to bring joy.
Why not read it together as a family before you decorate your tree at home?
Christmas is exciting
Let me introduce a perfect pop-up picture book for Christmas: “Christmas Is So Exciting.” The story features a pair of bear siblings who can’t wait for their presents.
Santa delivers gifts to children who have been good all year… That single line might make many kids’ hearts skip a beat, just like the bear siblings.
Lift the flaps and presents appear—it’s a wonderful picture book that even little ones can easily enjoy.
It would be lovely to ask, “Have you been good?” and hear a cheerful, “Yeees!” in return.
