Textbook for kids and genko yoshi

[tōkai devotee]

Can anyone recommend a good Japanese textbook for upper primary (elementary) school children who have a little prior knowledge of the language? A can't seem to find any about the bookstores. I've tried a few places, even the University bookstores to no avail.

Also, where can I find some books of genkou youshi? (I think that's what it's called!) I mean the paper with squares for writing Japanese script in. Maybe the other people in South Australia like gabi and chikara might know if it's available in any bookstores here.

Thanks in advance!

I dont know about the textbooks for kids, maybe e-bay would be good? But you can order the writing pads here http://www.jlist.com/index.html fyi this site also sells 'adult' material, hence the age check, but also has lots of useful stuff
