{"product_id":"호호호호박","title":"Ho Ho Ho Pumpkin","description":"Description: Growing up full of fun, laughing and chattering to their heart's content, then making a delicious exit! Laughter ripens into Ho Ho Ho Pumpkin.\n\nHo Ho Ho Pumpkin unfolds in three main parts. It opens with the life of a pumpkin — sprouting when the warm \"ho-oh, ho-oh\" breeze blows, until it blooms with a \"pak!\" When you peek through the \"pumpkin curtain\" in a dense pumpkin patch, a stage full of pumpkins appears. The zucchini squash laughs \"ae-ho ae-ho,\" the zucchini bursts out \"ki-ki-ki-ki,\" each pumpkin bursting into laughter shaped by the syllables of its own name. Once the curtain falls on this stage of laughing pumpkins, Great-Grandmother gathers up the pumpkins — now a bundle bursting with laughter — and turns them into a big pot of pumpkin porridge. As the story builds layer by layer, the laughter ripens too, until it becomes \"Ho Ho Ho Pumpkin.\" Is it the pumpkin that spreads the laughter, or the laughter that colors the pumpkin?\n\nWhile the author's previous book, Du-Du, used the crisp, popping sound of corn as its central motif to explore the many uses of corn, Ho Ho Ho Pumpkin uses the sound of laughter — \"ho ho\" — as its central motif, bringing out the character and uses of pumpkins in an even livelier way. The small, cutely named zucchini squash; the shy, nasal-voiced butternut squash; the zucchini stretching out coolly and confidently; and, amid it all, the kabocha squash keeping a determinedly stern expression. Each type of pumpkin is given its own distinct character, making the story even richer. The chatty, lively speech of the pumpkins and grandmothers breathes life into the story. When five grandmothers, each resembling one of the five pumpkins, gather cozily together, the playful fun is joined by warm affection.\n\nOnomatopoeia, Wordplay, and Typography in Perfect Harmony\n\nThe charm of this sensory, expertly crafted pumpkin picture book comes above all from its irresistible read-aloud rhythm. Author Han Yeon-jin, known for her playful wordplay built on onomatopoeia and mimetic words, has once again created wonderfully rhythmic, flavorful expressions. This is paired with the visual delight of the typography. Just as each type of pumpkin has its own character, each bit of typography carries its own distinct rhythm. The fresh pink of the typography, the vivid green of the fresh pumpkins, and the deep, ripe orange of the mature pumpkin blend together beautifully, creating a rich and varied atmosphere. This sensory blend of elements moves in step with the story's energetic flow. With text, typography, color, and image all deliciously combined, Ho Ho Ho Pumpkin leaves readers eager for the author's next story.\n\nFinding Cozy Joy in Simple, Everyday Food\n\nAuthor Han Yeon-jin consistently pursues \"fun,\" \"warmth,\" and \"sharing.\" A desire to share joyful, warm stories shines through in each of her works. The pumpkin featured in this story is a vegetable that feels generous and abundant just to look at, and the dishes made from it tend to bring a cozy, comforting feeling. Alongside the pumpkin, so full of laughter, the appearance of the warm-hearted Great-Grandmother makes the story even more heartwarming. The author doesn't stop at the pumpkins' laughter — she shares it with the grandmother, and with the reader too, carrying the warm wish to spread smiles and share happiness. And because there were so many delightful stories left to tell about pumpkins, a bonus twist story, \"The Secret of Ho Ho Ho Pumpkin,\" was created as well. Don't miss this special bonus feature — it makes for a delicious dessert to end the book.","brand":"IBOOKPARK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49624362090724,"sku":"08012025990","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/9788\/6692\/files\/9791169813334.jpg?v=1786426813","url":"https:\/\/ibookpark.com\/en\/products\/%ed%98%b8%ed%98%b8%ed%98%b8%ed%98%b8%eb%b0%95","provider":"IBOOKPARK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
