Two excited children begin playing a crock store by crying out loud. One takes the role of a storekeeper and the other takes the role of a mini crock. Then, they directly head toward the first customer. “Crock, Crock, buy a crock!” An elderly man taps the mini crock, and then, the crock can’t withstand it and shouts, ouch! He cannot pretend to be a crock. When the old man doesn’t buy the crock since it is not fully ripe, the crock jumps and turns into another crock.
After the old man, a sister comes. And then, a brother comes. Almost all the customers do not buy crocks for some reasons. While they are getting accustomed to selling crocks, a big tiger appears and asks them to buy a crock. Hmm… it’s not a crock. It’s a boy. The tiger’s mouth becomes full. Who will get the mini crock later?

Based on the Korean traditional crock store play, the joy of imagination and sympathy in this play world prepared by the writer and the illustrator is overflowing in this book. Readers will be able to enjoy reading this book and playing at the same time along with the rhythm of dialogues between the storekeeper and customers and with the thrilling and exciting illustrations.
