March: Picture Books Recommended for Enjoying with 5-Year-Olds

Nursery Teacher Mom Writertsukada moe
After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

March marks the close of the school year.

For five-year-olds, it’s the season when they graduate from kindergarten.

As they look back on their time at the preschool, they’re surely creating memories with their dear friends.

In this month of March, why not use picture books to reflect on friendships and think about seasonal events?

We’ve gathered picture books that are perfect for five-year-olds who spend fulfilling days—arguing, crying, and laughing.

Let each child feel in their own way, and let’s all immerse ourselves in the world of picture books together.

From the hugely popular “Vegetable Life” picture book series for children, here’s an introduction to the delightfully titled “Te-ara-IMO Uga-IMO.” Handwashing and gargling are very important daily habits.

But kids might skip them because they’re eager to play or find washing a hassle.

At times like that, why not read this picture book first and then try washing and gargling? It’s packed with catchy, rhythmic phrases that kids will want to sing along to.

If everyone hums along while washing their hands, it’s sure to make the routine more fun.
