Mark (Shogakukan's NEO Encyclopedia)

Discover the rules of the world by flipping through the pages!

From Shogakukan's NEO series, the No. 1 selling educational picture book, comes the "Open-the-Window Picture Book" series for young children.

The unique feature of the "Open-the-Window Picture Book" is the numerous interactive windows on every spread.

Each time a child flips through a window, their curiosity is stimulated, and they absorb words and knowledge rapidly.

Durable paper is used for the flip-through elements.

It's resistant to tearing even with frequent flipping by young children and can be used repeatedly.

No kanji characters are used; explanations are clearly written in hiragana and katakana.

Unlike similar books, it also includes English translations and pronunciation guides, allowing children to become familiar with English from an early age.

Volume 10, "Marks," introduces everyday marks in a fun way! With advice from the All Japan Traffic Safety Association, which produces educational materials on traffic safety, and Keiichi Koyama, who has been involved in sign design, including pictograms, for many years, this book features a variety of marks, mainly road signs and directional symbols.

This book will make outings to town and other places safer and more enjoyable!

[Recommendation from the Editor] Road signs, station and town signs, recycling signs, map symbols... there are actually many marks all around us.

This book features over 200 types of marks. By flipping over more than 100 interactive windows, the scene changes or the meaning is revealed.

Easy-to-understand illustrations and mazes using road signs are included, making it fun for parents and children to enjoy together.

After reading this book, marks will start to appear in your town and home!

We hope that the marks introduced in this book will help you understand how the world works and its rules.
