The front cover of the "Pikachu's Day" book.

Pokémon Tales (Japanese: ポケモンえほん Pokémon Picture Book) are a series of children's picture books published by VIZ Media in North America and Shogakukan in Japan. A small number of artists collectively provided illustrations across the series, many of which have since become established within the Pokémon franchise. Each book contains a story focusing on one Pokémon, such as a Squirtle afraid to come out of his shell or a hungry Snorlax. While the initial series comprises 48 books, only 23 were translated into English. Two Pokémon Tales gift sets were available: the first one contained the first four books and the Mewtwo Strikes Back special book, and the second one contained books 5-8 and the Power of One special book.
