[For 4-Year-Olds] Recommended Spring Picture Books | Engaging with the World and Friends

Children in the 4-year-old class grapple with many things every day—what’s happening around them, their friends, and their own feelings.

Because this is a time of fluctuation, let’s show them new worlds through picture books.

This time, we’ve gathered picture books perfect for reading with four-year-olds in spring.

In addition to works with spring-like motifs, we’re also introducing books that help children reflect on and reconsider their relationships with others and with themselves.

Let’s let them fully savor the world of picture books with their flexible minds and hearts.

It’s okay if feelings of meanness or the urge to quarrel begin to sprout.

Please stay by their side together with picture books.

Bread ThiefKeiko Shibata

Keiko Shibata’s picture book “The Bread Thief” is a wildly popular title not only with children but also with adults, and it’s such a unique book that it’s become a series.

The character leaves a strong impression, and its surreal humor is addicting—both kids and grown-ups can’t help but laugh out loud.

A loaf of bread hoists another bread and makes a getaway—so what on earth is this bread’s true identity…? The book is filled with delicious-looking breads that might just make you hungry! After reading, why not buy some bread and head out to the park?

In conclusion

I introduced picture books to enjoy with four-year-olds in spring.

At this age, their own world and their friends’ worlds mingle and sometimes collide.

Through picture books, discovering new worlds and noticing others’ feelings will surely be a good experience for children.

For adults too, reading picture books makes it easier to feel close to children’s emotional movements.
