Book Information & Summary
Written by Park Hyo Mi/ Illustrated by Kang Eun Ok
“Please find my friend iguana!”
The trouble and reconciliation between a grandfather and a grand-daughter over the pet
Hee Gyung happens to meet the most terrible crisis in her life – losing her companion pet, iguana. Is it because of her grandfather insisting that it is a snake? Her grandpa used to be able to notice what she is thinking all the time whenever they encounter each other, but this time, he doesn’t understand her at all. Hee Gyung feels so upset. Can she find her pet iguana?
Park, Hyo Mi, the writer of this book, has a lot of experience living with many kinds of companion pets. She has actually raised an iguana herself for five years so she put her vivid experience in this picture book. The writer provides readers, who raise pets already, or who want to have pets someday, with the chances to think about companion animals.
It has not been long since people began using the word, ‘companion’, for animals. The word, ‘companion animal’, was first used in Europe in 1983 to promote the belief that people should live with animals together. And in Korea, people began using, ‘companion animal’ since the revision of animal protection law in 2007. The recognition about animals has been improved in a speedy way over the last couple of years, but it’s also a sudden change for someone as well.
Since an iguana looks like a snake, which is believed to attract bad luck, her grandpa thinks that he should not get close to the iguana. Therefore, he cannot understand Hee Gyung who has been attached to her iguana. The writer has not specifically mentioned whether they have made peace each other in this book. However, if readers notice that her love for the iguana and the grandpa’s love for his cow are not that different from each other, they will be able to predict their relationship will soon become where it used to be. This book is a perfect fit for a family to understand each other before they actually take and raise their pet.
It is important to understand one another among family members, but it is also important to understand companion animals. In this book, the writer introduces various information about an iguana, including the fact that an iguana is sensitive to cold temperature, likes lettuces, and is weak to noises. If readers have the chance to get to know about their pets they already raise, or about companion animals they want to keep, they will realize how to live with their companion animals happily.
