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!

1.0 out of 5 stars There are lots of great Korean children's books out there... this isn't one of them, January 24, 2008

This review is from: Count Your Way Through Korea (Paperback)

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?
