同じく誰もが知るお話が詰まった民話集。「アリとキリギリス」「北風と太陽」などが代表作。中には教訓めいていすぎてオチがわからず戸惑うお話もありますが、ショートパッセージが中心なのでチャレンジしやすいでしょう。

映画化もされている有名なドリトル先生シリーズ。わくわくアドベンチャーながらも、時にシニカルな場面あり。老若男女問わず愛されるマルチな作品です。上記リンクは短い絵本ですが、小説版も読み放題無料で読めます。

児童小説系は、登場人物が少なく、話が多少長くても混乱しづらいのがメリットです。ここらで読書体力ついてきます。進みが遅いようなら"聞き読み"でスピードアップできます。

漫画・コミックス

より砕けた英語表現を学びたいなら漫画・コミックスがベストな洋書です。

アメコミ系：Star Wars Vol. 1

(function(b,c,f,g,a,d,e){b.MoshimoAffiliateObject=a;b[a]=b[a]||function(){arguments.currentScript=c.currentScript||c.scripts[c.scripts.length-2];(b[a].q=b[a].q||[]).push(arguments)};c.getElementById(a)||(d=c.createElement(f),d.src=g,d.id=a,e=c.getElementsByTagName("body")[0],e.appendChild(d))})(window,document,"script","//dn.msmstatic.com/site/cardlink/bundle.js?20220329","msmaflink");msmaflink({"n":"Star Wars Vol. 1: Skywalker Strikes (Star Wars (2015-2019)) (English Edition)","b":"","t":"","d":"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com","c_p":"","p":["\/images\/I\/61y0ceG-brL._SL500_.jpg"],"u":{"u":"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/dp\/B0153WYYEW","t":"amazon","r_v":""},"v":"2.1","b_l":[{"id":11,"u_tx":"Amazonで見る","u_bc":"#434343","u_url":"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/dp\/B0153WYYEW","a_id":2793894,"p_id":170,"pl_id":27060,"pc_id":185,"s_n":"amazon","u_so":1},{"id":2,"u_tx":"楽天市場で見る","u_bc":"#434343","u_url":"https:\/\/search.rakuten.co.jp\/search\/mall\/Star%20Wars%20Vol.%201%3A%20Skywalker%20Strikes%20(Star%20Wars%20(2015-2019))%20(English%20Edition)\/","a_id":2793702,"p_id":54,"pl_id":27059,"pc_id":54,"s_n":"rakuten","u_so":2},{"id":10,"u_tx":"Yahoo!ショッピングで見る","u_bc":"#434343","u_url":"https:\/\/shopping.yahoo.co.jp\/search?first=1\u0026p=Star%20Wars%20Vol.%201%3A%20Skywalker%20Strikes%20(Star%20Wars%20(2015-2019))%20(English%20Edition)","a_id":2800847,"p_id":1225,"pl_id":27061,"pc_id":1925,"s_n":"yahoo","u_so":3}],"eid":"iK3YB","s":"l"});

セリフ控えめ＆キャラ立ちしてるので、アメコミの中では比較的読みやすいグレードだと思います。また読み放題対象作品数が多いことも特徴なので、チャレンジしやすいシリーズです。

アメコミ系：Batman

(function(b,c,f,g,a,d,e){b.MoshimoAffiliateObject=a;b[a]=b[a]||function(){arguments.currentScript=c.currentScript||c.scripts[c.scripts.length-2];(b[a].q=b[a].q||[]).push(arguments)};c.getElementById(a)||(d=c.createElement(f),d.src=g,d.id=a,e=c.getElementsByTagName("body")[0],e.appendChild(d))})(window,document,"script","//dn.msmstatic.com/site/cardlink/bundle.js?20220329","msmaflink");msmaflink({"n":"Batman: The Complete Hush (Batman (1940-2011)) (English Edition)","b":"","t":"","d":"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com","c_p":"","p":["\/images\/I\/51VxphEVJML._SL500_.jpg"],"u":{"u":"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/dp\/B0064W652A","t":"amazon","r_v":""},"v":"2.1","b_l":[{"id":11,"u_tx":"Amazonで見る","u_bc":"#434343","u_url":"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/dp\/B0064W652A","a_id":2793894,"p_id":170,"pl_id":27060,"pc_id":185,"s_n":"amazon","u_so":1},{"id":2,"u_tx":"楽天市場で見る","u_bc":"#434343","u_url":"https:\/\/search.rakuten.co.jp\/search\/mall\/Batman%3A%20The%20Complete%20Hush%20(Batman%20(1940-2011))%20(English%20Edition)\/","a_id":2793702,"p_id":54,"pl_id":27059,"pc_id":54,"s_n":"rakuten","u_so":2},{"id":10,"u_tx":"Yahoo!ショッピングで見る","u_bc":"#434343","u_url":"https:\/\/shopping.yahoo.co.jp\/search?first=1\u0026p=Batman%3A%20The%20Complete%20Hush%20(Batman%20(1940-2011))%20(English%20Edition)","a_id":2800847,"p_id":1225,"pl_id":27061,"pc_id":1925,"s_n":"yahoo","u_so":3}],"eid":"eAN02","s":"l"});

こちらもスターウォーズと同じくセリフ控えめなので、比較的読みやすいと思います。バットマンも読み放題対象作品が多数あるので、お気に入りを探してみてください。

4コマ系：The Complete Peanuts Vol. 1

(function(b,c,f,g,a,d,e){b.MoshimoAffiliateObject=a;b[a]=b[a]||function(){arguments.currentScript=c.currentScript||c.scripts[c.scripts.length-2];(b[a].q=b[a].q||[]).push(arguments)};c.getElementById(a)||(d=c.createElement(f),d.src=g,d.id=a,e=c.getElementsByTagName("body")[0],e.appendChild(d))})(window,document,"script","//dn.msmstatic.com/site/cardlink/bundle.js?20220329","msmaflink");msmaflink({"n":"The Complete Peanuts Vol. 1: 1950-1952 (English Edition)","b":"","t":"","d":"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com","c_p":"","p":["\/images\/I\/41YGUATsZuL._SL500_.jpg"],"u":{"u":"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/dp\/B0172CK2V0","t":"amazon","r_v":""},"v":"2.1","b_l":[{"id":11,"u_tx":"Amazonで見る","u_bc":"#434343","u_url":"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/dp\/B0172CK2V0","a_id":2793894,"p_id":170,"pl_id":27060,"pc_id":185,"s_n":"amazon","u_so":1},{"id":2,"u_tx":"楽天市場で見る","u_bc":"#434343","u_url":"https:\/\/search.rakuten.co.jp\/search\/mall\/The%20Complete%20Peanuts%20Vol.%201%3A%201950-1952%20(English%20Edition)\/","a_id":2793702,"p_id":54,"pl_id":27059,"pc_id":54,"s_n":"rakuten","u_so":2},{"id":10,"u_tx":"Yahoo!ショッピングで見る","u_bc":"#434343","u_url":"https:\/\/shopping.yahoo.co.jp\/search?first=1\u0026p=The%20Complete%20Peanuts%20Vol.%201%3A%201950-1952%20(English%20Edition)","a_id":2800847,"p_id":1225,"pl_id":27061,"pc_id":1925,"s_n":"yahoo","u_so":3}],"eid":"pi0nk","s":"l"});

日本でもおなじみスヌーピーのコミックス。4コマ割り漫画で、個人的にはアメコミより3倍くらい読みやすいです。ボリューミーなので日本語解説のスヌーピー名言集から入るのもおすすめ。学習しやすいシリーズです。

コミック系はやっぱり紙本が圧倒的に読みやすいです。スマホだと文字がちっさすぎるので、デジタルにこだわる方はタブレット購入を検討してみてください。

長編（その他ジャンル）

ここまで来れば、すでに洋書はひと通り読みこなせる読書体力がついているはずです。英語レベルを気にせず、"話題のあの1冊"など読みたい本を読んでみましょう。

ファンタジー系：Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

(function(b,c,f,g,a,d,e){b.MoshimoAffiliateObject=a;b[a]=b[a]||function(){arguments.currentScript=c.currentScript||c.scripts[c.scripts.length-2];(b[a].q=b[a].q||[]).push(arguments)};c.getElementById(a)||(d=c.createElement(f),d.src=g,d.id=a,e=c.getElementsByTagName("body")[0],e.appendChild(d))})(window,document,"script","//dn.msmstatic.com/site/cardlink/bundle.js?20220329","msmaflink");msmaflink({"n":"Harry Potter and the Philosopher\u0027s Stone: Illustrated [Kindle in Motion] (Illustrated Harry Potter Book 1) (English Edition)","b":"","t":"","d":"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com","c_p":"\/images\/I","p":["\/51ENLRauMHL._SL500_.jpg","\/412ndhnsiyL._SL500_.jpg","\/513EA+AhRHL._SL500_.jpg","\/51xGT6dSuBL._SL500_.jpg","\/51ggBSYQ0lL._SL500_.jpg","\/51sKrrCcS3L._SL500_.jpg"],"u":{"u":"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/dp\/B073QVF5DD","t":"amazon","r_v":""},"v":"2.1","b_l":[{"id":11,"u_tx":"Amazonで見る","u_bc":"#434343","u_url":"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/dp\/B073QVF5DD","a_id":2793894,"p_id":170,"pl_id":27060,"pc_id":185,"s_n":"amazon","u_so":1},{"id":2,"u_tx":"楽天市場で見る","u_bc":"#434343","u_url":"https:\/\/search.rakuten.co.jp\/search\/mall\/Harry%20Potter%20and%20the%20Philosopher\u0027s%20Stone%3A%20Illustrated%20%5BKindle%20in%20Motion%5D%20(Illustrated%20Harry%20Potter%20Book%201)%20(English%20Edition)\/","a_id":2793702,"p_id":54,"pl_id":27059,"pc_id":54,"s_n":"rakuten","u_so":2},{"id":10,"u_tx":"Yahoo!ショッピングで見る","u_bc":"#434343","u_url":"https:\/\/shopping.yahoo.co.jp\/search?first=1\u0026p=Harry%20Potter%20and%20the%20Philosopher\u0027s%20Stone%3A%20Illustrated%20%5BKindle%20in%20Motion%5D%20(Illustrated%20Harry%20Potter%20Book%201)%20(English%20Edition)","a_id":2800847,"p_id":1225,"pl_id":27061,"pc_id":1925,"s_n":"yahoo","u_so":3}],"eid":"mv6Lj","s":"l"});

洋書登竜門となっているハリポタシリーズ。しかし1冊約8万語＆登場人物多数、学習者にとっては難解です。もし読むなら、断然こちらのモーショングラフィックverがいいです。まるでホグワーツな世界観が最高な1冊です。

長編系は、先が見えないことが挫折の原因になります。あらかじめ知ってる内容を選ぶのが読破のコツ。例えばハリポタなら「先に映画を見ておく」だけで、かなりラクになります。

伝記は長編でも読みやすいジャンルのひとつです。有名エピソードなら知ってるし、さらなる教養にもなります。上記シリーズは英語学習者にとってかなりの良書。適宜イラスト付＆大事なワードが太線になっています。
