DESCRIPTION:
GS said Excellent book!. K is for Korea is an excellent book that goes through the English ABC's with each letter standing either for a Korean word (Ex. B for Buchaechum, a special fan dance), or English translation of an aspect of Korean culture/society (ex. R for Rice). It has beautiful photographs taken in Korea for each letter and I was happy to see new concepts covered that were not in some of our other Korean books.. Beautiful Picture Book of Korea! Lynn Ellingwood This is a great book about Korea. I have Korean students so I am always looking for books about it. K is for Korea really focuses on Korean culture and things I didn't know about it before. The photographs go well with the book and I found it informative. I think my students will be able to share their culture with me while I read this book to them. There is a lot to prompt their memories.. RN_Mom said Awesome book!. What a great picture book for older children to learn about Korea! It is especially nice if your child is adopted from Korea.
As with each of the books in the series, this one is written by a knowledgeable local. Prodeepta Das helps bring each to life with an evocative photograph.. K Is for Korea offers young readers a composite picture comprised of the customs, religions, and cultures — both ancient and modern — that make up this fascinating country. Author Hyechong Cheung carefully selects words starting with each letter of the alphabet to focus on both city and country life, sampling everything from regional food and drink to music and art
Vivid photographs fill every page, each accompanied by a letter of the alphabet, as well as paragraph-length descriptions. . The succinct text manages to weave in information regarding Korea's history, religions, and traditions. Although the book is not detailed enough for reports, it does provide children with a lively taste of the country.—Donna Atmur, Los Angeles Public LibraryCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
