My baby niece is turning one year old next month. I want to teach her Japanese (her parents are cool with this FYI).
So are there any notable illustrated children's books in Japanese based on kaiju/tokusatsu properties. Preferably drawn in a cute/chibi-style of artwork?
Are any kaiju/toku-related illustrated Japanese children's books?

There are two Japanese children's books, one released one upcoming, called Do Your Best, Chibi Godzilla and Close Friends, Chibi Godzilla.

Though, I'll admit I'm not a big fan of the art style. I personally prefer the Godzilla-kun/Godzilland style.
Are there any children's books related to the Ultra series, or maybe Gamera or Kamen Rider or Super Sentai?

Exactly. I'm a little more forgiving of the other character designs, though.daveblackeye15 wrote:More like Llamazilla.
