How do I ask about books that include furigana for the kanji?


I'm planning on going to Japan soon and one of the things I'd like to do is
buy a few books, but I want to get books that include the furigana for all the
kanji. How would I ask a store associate to show me where I can find books
that include that. My first thoughts go to 「ふりがなの本はありますか？」 but that kind of
sounds like "Are there furigana books?" which I'm not sure conveys the correct
meaning. Would I be asking that correctly if I said it that way or is there a
better way of asking for books that include the furigana?

EDIT: I'm willing to accept a more generalized answer to the question of how
to ask about something being included in something else if that makes sense.




The most common way to specify that the printed material must contain furigana
would be:

[code]

    ふりがな付きの（本・小説・まんが・etc.）ありますか。
    
[/code]

or

[code]

    ふりがなの付いている（本・小説・まんが・etc.）ありますか。
    
[/code]

If you were to use the translation you listed (ふりがなの本）it might confuse the
store associate and they would likely ask for clarification.

As they might not have a section dedicated to books with furigana, and they
will likely just lead you to the 'books for kids' section, it would probably
be best to specify what type of book you are interested in initially.




For "books with _furigana_ " you can use 「ふりがな付きの本」.

Of course books come on a spectrum and all books directed at native speakers
of a particular age group contain _kanji_ and _furigana_ appropriate for this
age group. (So, even if you're not native, you can try to read books for
natives by reading books below your actual age group.)

For self study, there are also a number of parallel texts, e.g.
講談社バイリンガル・ブックス.
