A really cute story! This book is about two goblins (dokkaebi) who try to trick people and cause a bit of chaos. Even amongst the chaos, the goblins still find themselves in situations in which they need to try new things and experience unique situations–like meeting trick or treaters for the first time! While reading this story, I was lucky enough to be in the same room as a man from South Korea. I showed him the story and he immediately lit up! He told me that this story is based on a common folklore story that was taught to him by his mother. So, honestly, a great story that shares a unique part of Korean culture!
