Book Information & Summary
Written and Illustrated by Yi Gee Eun
Dream of a baby bear who wants to taste a red fruit
Innocent adventure we want to keep cheering up
Something red can all be seen as fruit to a baby bear who climbs and climbs up the trees while searching for a red fruit. Every time the bear sees red things, he says, ‘Ooh!’ with expectation and checks out it is not a red fruit in the end, but he is never disappointed or gives up. Rather, he says hello to a caterpillar, a squirrel, or a bee house, just like he enjoys all these moments. The journey of climbing up the trees to seek out a red fruit is such a meaningful experience for the bear, because he truly enjoys all the process to look for what he has dreamed of during his journey. Therefore, readers cannot help cheering him up from the bottom of their heart. Readers will be able to think it is lovely beyond cute, especially when he cries out loud, ‘What a huge red fruit!’ while watching the rising sun. He is so innocent that he even steps out to the air to taste this huge red fruit. It is also more fun to observe other characters who calmly watch this dynamic bear. The concern that the baby bear whether he is fine shortly disappears, instead, the bear tries again to taste this red fruit inside his mom, and even have another dream while watching the bright moon. Readers will automatically smile while seeing this innocent bear in the book.
Simplicity emphasizing the taste of the story
Rhythm made by color, writing, and direction.
The story of a bear finding a red fruit is very simple, but for some reasons, readers expect what will happen in the next scene. One of the most attractive points of this book is to make readers concentrate on each and every element of this book based on such a simple formation. The scenes of thick woods and the bear climbing up the trees as a full-size scene are very simple, however, all these scenes have created visual rhythm by being overlapped. Therefore, it is just like watching moving images while turning each page. Most of the scenes are described in red ink and traditional black ink stick in white paper, and among those scenes, the soft color of traditional black ink stick makes the atmosphere of this book balanced generally. The depth and texture of traditional black ink stick fully give us calm and silent atmosphere of the morning when the baby bear woke up alone in the woods. So does the style of the writer. The short and simple literary style of this book sounds like the voice of the baby bear who is faithful to his instinct, and sometimes, sounds like the voice of an observer watching the bear at a distance. The neat voice without rhetorical expression is well mingled with the bear climbing up and calmly falling from the trees.
