Born and bred in Chicago, Choi's parents raised their son with a keen appreciation for their native Korean culture. The traditional melodies they taught him left a deep impression. Included in this collection are well-known children's songs such as \"Splashing Around\" and \"Mountain Rabbit\" that incorporate fun actions and gestures. Also, traditional standards that have been passed down from generation to generation, such as \"Blue Birds\" and \"Arirang.\" Each Korean children's song features a musical score with the lyrics in Korean script and romanized form and an English version of the lyrics. Historical and cultural notes are included, and for the children's songs, Choi describes the accompanying actions. Along with the book comes access to recordings of all the songs, along with tracks that allow you to sing along. Every page has beautiful full-color illustrations of traditional Korean scenes by the talented Korean artist SamEe Back. Just as songs like \"Home on the Range\" or \"Oh! Susanna\" are part of traditional American culture, the songs in Korean Folk Songs are a valuable resource for anyone with interest in Korean culture, history and language. All media content is accessible on the Tuttle Publishing website.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780804844680","publication_date":"20141014","publisher":"Tuttle Publishing","slug":"korean-folk-songs","subtitle":"Stars in the Sky and Dreams in Our Hearts [14 Sing Along Songs With Audio Recordings Included]","title":"Korean Folk Songs"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"JNF036080","confidence_band":"high","label":"Songbooks","score":0.7838,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV031040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Music Stories","score":0.7458,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV030020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Stories Set in Asia","score":0.7432,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"JNF036080","confidence_band":"high","label":"Songbooks","score":0.7838,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV031040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Music Stories","score":0.7458,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV030020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Stories Set in Asia","score":0.7432,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"JNF020000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Kids' Foreign Language","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JNF036080","confidence_band":"high","label":"Songbooks","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JNF038020","confidence_band":"high","label":"Asia for Kids","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Songbooks","score":0.7838,"slug":"songbooks"},{"label":"Music Stories","score":0.7458,"slug":"music-stories"},{"label":"Stories Set in Asia","score":0.7432,"slug":"stories-set-in-asia"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers interested in Korean culture, history, and language"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Kim So-Un"],"book_id":"9780804850209","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780804850209.jpg?v=c34baea71bb042b6","score":0.7844,"title":"Korean Children's Favorite Stories","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780804850209"},{"authors":["Tina Cho"],"book_id":"9780804846943","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780804846943.jpg?v=1d31b9b8a3bf7761","score":0.7621,"title":"Korean Celebrations","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780804846943"},{"authors":["Frances Carpenter"],"book_id":"9780804851602","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780804851602.jpg?v=04f601e100fe3e38","score":0.7476,"title":"Tales of a Korean Grandmother","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780804851602"},{"authors":["Danielle Wright"],"book_id":"9784805314593","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9784805314593.jpg?v=16b50abc28505e10","score":0.7313,"title":"Japanese and English Nursery Rhymes","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9784805314593"},{"authors":["David Conger","Liana Romulo"],"book_id":"9780804850230","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780804850230.jpg?v=c350860665c8bff6","score":0.7153,"title":"Asian Children's Favorite Stories","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780804850230"},{"authors":["Rose Nestling"],"book_id":"9781680521238","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781680521238.jpg?v=b4f3df16158984f0","score":0.7136,"title":"Bedtime Songs","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781680521238"},{"authors":["Linda Sue Park"],"book_id":"9780547237695","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780547237695.jpg?v=e3a10a31f3ae0d8a","score":0.6952,"title":"The Firekeeper's Son","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780547237695"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:korean children books"],"label":"Children","score":0.2129,"slug":"children"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Korean folk songs, Cultural traditions, Korean and English lyrics.","Themes: Children.","Reading lane: Songbooks and Music Stories."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.96,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Readers interested in Korean culture, history, and language"],"themes":["Korean folk songs","Cultural traditions","Korean and English lyrics"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":59,"goodreads_ratings_count":14,"goodreads_reviews_count":3,"quality_score":0.8499}}
