Unlike books like The Storyteller's Candle or a Room of My Own that are in English and written also in Spanish, this book is written in English, with the Korean translation AND the pronunciation of the Korean, complete with a pronunciation guide to read the Korean and sound correct. Most of these are more like sing-songs used in the U.S. as jump-rope chants (one is similar to Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear). A nice book for adopted or immigrant Korean children (and grandchildren!).

Assuming that the reader speaks no more than two languages, the lack of translation of the foreign poetry creates a barrier and a lack of understanding. For example, Xiao Peng You, Gou Gou Shou from China does not have a translation.

This is a collection of rhymes from around the world. Each two page spread contains the poem translated into English, as well as the poem in its original language. It is neat to compare the words and rhythms, as well as see what children around the world memorize to recite! The colorful collage illustrations really enhance the book.
