In A Scrabble Shake, a child orders "ttalkkukjjil" (hiccups), "girin" (a giraffe) and "kokkiri" (an elephant) at a shop selling shakes that he came upon by accident. A shake made up of hiccups, a giraffe and an elephant? It's rather simple to make a shake with these unusual ingredients: listen to the awful singing of the owner of the shop, which is like a spell, while the shake is being mixed. "I'm a scrabble cook, making shakes by mixing letters. It will knock your socks off. Just have a sip. Try it!" The shake, finally finished as the song ends, is a... "Ttal-gi-ko shake"! If you have good sense, you will have noticed the secret behind the scrabble shake. It's made from combining the first letters of each ingredient. Ttalgiko (red-nosed) men appear with the ttal-gi-ko shake and order their own shakes with "bangul" (a bell), "guseul" (a marble), "jaengban" (a tray) and "iseul" (dew). A "Bang-gu-jaeng-i shake" (someone who farts a lot) appears! The simple rule opens up a wide range of possibilities for the types of scrabble shakes that can be created. You can learn to play with words by cutting and pasting letters to make new ones, just like the shake shop in the book. Children who read this book can use their infinite imagination to make their own scrabble shakes.
