I thought that this was a really cool book! I like how the author incorporates the alphabet into the central message of the book. The central message of the book is to inform readers about Korea and the many things that define its culture. I think that by including a different letter from the alphabet for each part of Korea's culture that the author was describing gave the reader an interesting experience in which they can tie in what they already know about the alphabet with what they are learning about Korea. I also like the photographs in this book. The photographs truly give the reader an idea of what Korea's culture is like and help them connect the text that they are reading to a visual. I also like the borders on each page. Each page has a different color border with what looks like a Korean symbol on it. I think that this is very eye-catching to a reader, which will keep them interested throughout the book.… (mere)
