Overview

This story represents the charms and beauty of a traditional Korean puppet show.

Book Intro

 <Teru Teru> describes a Korean traditional puppet show in a comical way. It recreates traditional wooden puppets and portrays their humorous dialogues vividly.  Korean traditional puppet show is the only folk tradition that continues on today in Korea. The author, YeonChoel Park, made three-dimensional puppets using red pine trees in order to visualize their colours and the facial expressions well. He dyed the cloths and used them as backgrounds for each scene. He also created icons in each scene that described the paradox of the characters. 

 

The book describes human nature realistically and bitterly. The main characters are Mr. Park, his wife Puppet, his daughter Pijori, Pijori’s son, his nephew Mr. Hong, kidnapper Ishimi, and the narrator of the story, Mr. San. Mr. Park is a funny old man who bluffs a lot. He pretends that he is a gentle and well-mannered man. Mr. Park’s wife is ugly but popular among men; his daughter bluffs a lot like her father and his grandson is a mischievous and ill-mannered boy. One day Ishimi, an evil creature who eats people and animals and causes a drought, eats Mr. Park’s family. Mr. Park tries to take revenge on Ishimi but is captured by him instead. Desperate, he swallows his pride and pleads to his nephew Mr. Hong to rescue him. Mr. Hong is a strong young man whose body colour is red. He has never liked his immoral uncle but decides to rescue him from Ishimi. However, after killing Ishimi, Mr. Hong steals Ishimi’s luminous marble to sell it and become rich. Mr. Hong is critical of Mr. Park’s immorality but in the end, he himself demonstrates how difficult it is to be completely good. He shows that such is human nature. 

 

This book uses many repetitive words and homonyms to describe people’s snobbery and to exaggerate comical situations. It also uses slang such as ‘big head’ and ‘arsehole’ when describing the characters’ vulgar tastes. The story consists of questions and answers so children can role-play as they read the book.
