♡

I have uploaded my small collection of Korean children’s books in PDF form. Since I am just learning Korean I summarized a few of them based on the pictures, so please excuse some of the titles!  There are 4 types of PDF’s in each folder, full color editions of the book with pictures (title.pdf) or just the text of the book (titletext.pdf). There are also black and white editions for those who want to print them off to write on them for translating. I’ve also included a zip file for those who want all 4 files. 

Categorized based on difficulty** : 

Beginner

Bear Adventure

Counting Monkeys 

Cow carries a rice bag

Kids and the Storm

Wheat Kids

Intermediate

Heidi

The Nutcracker

The Prince and the Pauper

Advanced(ish)

Pelé - (It’s a short biography)

* Kanji here are pretty much unnecessary (I just love kanji) so I’m writing readings in katakana - that’s how these words are most likely to be written in actual text.
