Learning as fun as playing! When a scary dog comes close, shout 'Ga!' When opening your mouth at the dentist, say 'Ah~' Kick the ball hard with a 'Cha!' Want to draw a heart on the window? Breathe 'Ha~~' Shouting out simple, familiar phrases like these helps children naturally learn Hangul letters. The warm and vivid illustrations, capturing everyday moments like a cozy family photo album, add both fun and effectiveness to letter learning. Pretending to be a butterfly, greedily wanting all the toys, crying because Dad ate the ice cream, hiking with Dad, playing at the beach... The everyday scenes of two daughters and their mom and dad feel just like looking at our own family, making this book just as wonderful as a heartfelt family story picture book. In fact, illustrator Baek Eun-hee, herself a mother of two daughters, is known for capturing precious family moments and children's playtime through photographs. Perhaps that's why the characters' expressions, gestures, and the everyday objects in their home feel so lively and familiar. Through this book, children will discover that Hangul is hidden all throughout everyday life, and that they can naturally learn it while playing word games. Fun letter designs make reading even more enjoyable The letter designs are playful too. In the scene where the character shouts 'Ga!' the right stroke of the vowel 'ㅏ' is stretched out long, like an arm reaching forward. In the 'Ah~' scene, the consonant 'ㅇ' is shaped like the inside of a mouth. The illustrations and letter shapes work together so well that seeing the picture brings the letter to mind, and seeing the letter brings the picture to mind — through repeated reading, children will naturally pick up Hangul before they know it. The letters are also given a glossy coating so kids can feel their shapes with their fingers. The final page brings together all the letters introduced earlier to form various words, helping children learn how individual letters combine to create new words, and letting them enjoy making words of their own. Made as a sturdy board book, it holds up well to repeated reading, and the rounded corners make it safe for little hands to explore.
