My 4 yr old and I love this book
11 Aug 2009
Format:Hardcover
we recently checked this out from the library, and I am just on Amazon looking for more titles from the same author. I have to say that we love this book at my house - but we are really used to these themes -
think Little Red Riding Hood (swallows grandma and red riding hood whole and then gets belly cut open to release them, unharmed) - because that is exactly what this book is like, except with 2 sisters who learn a really great lesson, and are the heroines of the story - strong and brave. We are really into the old fairy tales at my house. I don't like the watered down versions of these. It is my experience that kids really feel comforted by these cut and dry tales where good triumphs over evil (the death of the tiger)...but we also know what drowning is, so that wasn't a question I was forced to answer.
This book is probably only for parents and kids who are used to traditional fairy tales. If you are, this is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend it.

Fabulous children's book with amazingly detailed illustrations
16 May 2012
Format:Hardcover
The story is really fun and is based on a traditional Korean fairytale and shows two sisters eventually bonding together. The illustrations are super detailed and keep your attention because of all the different vantage points the artist, Insu Lee, uses. Just beautiful. I would like to see more books illustrated by this artist. Although this book is not squeaky clean, any real violence is shown off the page. Think about the traditional Little Red Riding Hood story or Grimm's fairy tales. They are the same as this or worse. A child is likely to see something more violent on a cartoon.

Far too violent.
28 Feb 2012
Format:Hardcover
I understand that many children's stories and fairy tales are filled with violent acts, but even knowing that, I can't believe this book is marketed for five year olds and up. Between the little girl being eaten, the older girl offering to drown a nest of birds, and the tiger ending up drowned and cut open, my daughter was horrified. It's just too much for one story.
Also, the illustrations of the tiger are downright creepy, and not in a good way. This book made my skin crawl.
