Count Your Way Through Korea is a fun learning book for preschoolers and young school aged children. The book presents the numbers one through ten in Korean, complete with the phonetic English pronounciations. Each number is linked to a cultural aspect of life in Korea. Fun!

Someone had an idea for a series and proceeded to create Count Your Way Through... books for a number of countries. You'll see that the reviews for the most part are very bad, and deservedly so. First of all the illustrations are unattractive and boring. But the biggest problem is that Counting 1-10 is a very basic concept for preschoolers, whereas the cultural information is clearly for older kids, for instance cultural traditions and historical facts. So the content is uninteresting for a 3 year old, and the counting motif is completely silly for a 7 year old who could understand the history. Does this author even have or know children?

count your way through korea is a nice book looks exactly like the pics online but if your going to biy this for a kid biy this for a big kid because this book is too old for a toddler the pics and ilistrations are not really geared toard toddlers that's why this book is geared more toard big kids and the pics in the book arn't very bright in color but it is a very nice book would biy again but like i said before this book is not wreally for toddlers.

My granddaughter is Korean-American and understands both Korean and English. This book helps her a great deal in developing her Korean language skills.
