[DeepL Translation - needs review] The prettiest ugly in the world, a picture book by Wanseo Park, a representative author of our time, warmly tells the story of a new life born in blessing, and how it grows step by step in body and mind. The author, who had a childhood where nothing was ever enough, tells this story to our children who will look back on it as a child in an age of material abundance and disposable everything.
Growing up in the midst of a loving family and neighbors who looke...
빛나 is a young girl who has lots of beautiful dolls, so why is she jealous of her cousin's doll, which is very ugly?
I have mixed feeling about this book: on one hand 빛나 learns a sweet little lesson from her kind 오빠, and the simple language makes it good for learners; on the other hand, the narration feels detached and emotionless, as though the characters are being observed from a distance in the style of a wildlife documentary. Needless to say, this doesn't endear them to the reader, and it definitely impacted my enjoyment of the story.
If you're specifically looking for something to read at this level for language practice, then it's an adequate choice, but the unsatisfying narrative style means I wouldn't particularly recommend it from an entertainment perspective.
