Here is a beautiful book of illustrated proverbs for children: Tiger, Frogs, and Rice Cakes: A Book of Korean Proverbs by Daniel D. Holt.
This is a short book for children; each proverb has its own illustration, and there are 20 proverbs given in both English, Korean, and also in romanized Korean. There is also a commentary in the back of the book. So, for example, the proverb "Licking the outside of a watermelon" is explained as someone who acts with superficial understanding.
The illustrations are by Soma Han Stickler, and some are beautiful two-page spreads like this one: "When there is no tiger, the rabbit becomes king."
So, you can enjoy both the proverbs and the artistry of this book!
by Daniel D. Holt.
