Features: The story of "The Tall First Grader and the Short Second Grader" is as simple as it gets, just telling the story of a girl and a boy. Chidai is a second-grade girl who is short but strong. Masato is a first-grade boy who is tall and big, yet a crybaby and a timid person. One day, they meet, and thus, an ordinary story unfolds in the lives of these two children. This is a novel depicting the daily lives of young children, known in Japan as "young children's literature," which means it is specifically written for first and second-grade elementary school students to read themselves.
