Taking a bath is fun

Description

Winner of the Art Award at the 30th Children's Publishing Culture Awards. This book is recommended by the Children's Book Research Society and the Hanuri Reading Culture Movement Headquarters. How great would it be if there was a world where reality and fantasy could coexist? But if you look closely, it doesn't seem that far away. If you look closely into the eyes of children who are daydreaming about something, you can see that they are already far away from reality. How exciting would it be if turtles, penguins, seals, hippos, whales, etc. really came out of the bathtub we always see? Just imagining it makes taking a bath more enjoyable. In the book <Bathing is Fun>, we can clearly see how small fantasies(?) or imaginations in daily life enrich our lives and the lives of our children.

summary
Sangmin likes to take a bath with his duck doll, Pooka, in a fluffy bathhouse. The turtle mistook the bathhouse for the sea and said, 'Bubble, bubble, bubble.' It showed up. The confused turtle and Sang-min turned around and before they knew it, they saw twin penguin brothers. At that time, the soap slips from the hand and a soap-chasing race begins with the animals, but the slippery brown rock swallows the soap. It turns out that the brown rock is a seal. The seal that swallowed the soap creates soap bubbles, and a hippopotamus appears startled by the sound of the bubbles popping. As Sangmin soaped every corner of the hippo's body, a whale appeared and sprayed cool water. Sangmin entered the bathroom with the animals and was counting while his mother asked, “Have you all washed up?” “Come out here.” As he said this, all the animals hid in the water and Sangmin jumped into the soft towel that his mother had prepared.
