"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
"This colorful compilation of nursery rhymes is written in English and Korean. It also comes with a CD of nursery songs in both languages." --Travel Life magazine
"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
"Like singing in a round, there is a lot going on--it is fun and exciting and very busy. 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
"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 in your vocabulary retention." --Gone Seoul Searching blog
