{"product_id":"the-korean-cinderella-trophy-picture-books-paperback","title":"The Korean Cinderella (Trophy Picture Books (Paperback))","description":"\"This masterfully retold version of Cinderella presents real Korean customs and includes dramatic, brightly colored illustrations\" (Children's Literature).\nThis is an enchanting and magical variant of the favorite fairy tale. Publishers Weekly noted that \"the text is especially noteworthy for its instructive but unobtrusive incorporation of Korean words.\" Children's Literature pointed out that \"it should be noted that all the illustrations—from those depicting Korean rituals to the smallest clothing details—are the result of the illustrator's extensive research and passionate interest in Korean culture.\"\nLike the tree planted to honor her birth, Pear Blossom is beautiful, and the pride of her elderly mother and father. But then her mother dies, and her father remarries. Pear Blossom’s stepmother resents her new daughter’s beauty.\nOut of jealousy, she makes Pear Blossom perform impossible chores while her own daughter, Peony, watches idly. But fortunately, Pear Blossom is not alone. With the help of magical creatures—togkabis—she can accomplish each task, and triumph over her stepmother’s cruelty.\nNotable Children’s Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies (NCSS\/CBC)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0064433978\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0064433978.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Climo, Shirley|Heller, Ruth\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
