My First Book of Korean Words: An ABC Rhyming Book

This was a fun intro book for young children on some simple Korean words. My First Book of Korean Words by Henry Amen and Kyubyong Park.

Here's the description from Amazon.com: My First Book of Korean Words introduces Korean language and culture to preschool children in a gentle, playful way. Its ABC structure provides a familiar framework that encourages fun and easy learning. The mix of everyday words, sound words and words specific to Korean life gives kids a varied sample of language and culture. Each word taught is shown in Hangeul as well as in its Romanized form, and cultural and linguistic notes here and there enhance the learning experience. Kids will love Ji-min and her friends as they join her from page to colorful page!

It brings up some points about the Korean language not having some of the same letter sounds and illustrations are very cute!
