This year marks the 40th anniversary of the first issue of ""Gakken Workbooks"" series, which was launched in 1982.
The series has sold a total of 50 million copies and is the No. 1 selling series of toddler educational materials in bookstores (according to our own research based on data from major bookstores in 2021).
To mark this milestone, we have created a commemorative page on the official website of ""Gakken Workbooks"" to look back on the 40-year history of the series.
We will continue to carry on the idea of ""providing truly enjoyable and good educational materials for children"" that we had at the time of the first issue of the series.
