About Korean Nursery Rhymes: Wild Geese, Land Of Goblins
Product Description Poetry, rhythm and melody help make it easier to absorb a new language—and make learning fun! Korean Nursery Rhymes: Wild Geese, Half Moon and Other Favorite Songs and Rhymes presents fourteen well-loved rhymes in bilingual English and Korean text (both Hangeul script and Romanized Korean are given). The accompanying audio CD contains recordings of all the rhymes performed in Korean and English. The selections include songs that involve children singing together or with their parents. Some of these songs accompany everyday play activities like jump rope and hand clap games. Others speak to a child's view of nature, and a love of home. All rhymes are presented in interlinear Korean-English form to encourage language learning. Notes throughout the text offer nuggets of interesting information about Korean culture and explain how the games are played. Each rhyme is presented on its own vibrantly illustrated spread, making this the perfect introduction to Korean language and culture for preschoolers! From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 2-Brightly colored, predominately in oranges and purple, this book presents 14 nursery rhymes, many of which are songs. The CD follows the book with each tune first sung in Korean, and followed by the English version. All of the numbers are interpreted with a Western-sounding melody, acoustic guitar, and young people singing. Overall, they are soothing enough for bedtime listening. The stylized artwork appears to be digitally enhanced, with large swatches of saturated color and plenty of elements from the rhymes, such as butterflies, blossoms, and children at play. Just as the melodies have a familiar feeling, so do the rhymes, which feature topics such as jump-rope games, naming facial features, and getting a little fright from a goblin. Each line of the text is written in Korean, followed by the transliteration in bold print, and then the English translation. A pronunciation guide is included, as are explanatory notes of interest that situate the rhymes within Korean culture. Early language-learning and culture-appreciation classes will be aided by this fun and colorful volume.-Teresa Pfeifer, The Springfield Renaissance School, Springfield, MAα(c) Copyright 2013.

Each part deserves attention. First, the book can stand alone as a bilingual book of 14 children's nursery rhymes. Chirpy, simple and bright … Second, the language translation is repeated three times: first in Hanguel script, then in Romanized, phonetic Korean and finally in English. … Finally, the music CD allows readers to listen to correct pronunciation, with each song (played by guitar and sung by young children) performed in Korean and then English. The illustrations are two-dimensional and cartoony, with round bodies and smiling eyes. Both unusual and useful, for this ever-shrinking world." — Kirkus Reviews "Children and animals drawn in a palette of tropical colors cavort through Wright's charismatic collection of 14 traditional Korean songs and nursery rhymes…" — Publishers Weekly "This is a really pretty book with rhymes and games from Korea. It also has a CD so you can hear how the rhymes should sound. I liked this book." — Cole, Age 7, City Book Review "Songs are a very effective way to expose kids to language. These are the nursery rhymes and songs that Korean kids grow up with; their "Mother Goose" if you may." — PragmaticMom.com blog "The nursery song book does a fantastic job presenting some of Korea's traditional and modern nursery rhymes in a way that makes language learning simple for any age. […] Sit back and relax to the tranquil melodies as you easily master the Korean language alone or with your little on. Singing along to the rhymes will make you feel accomplished and will absolutely aid
