Crispy Seagull
Description
Book Introduction
I fell in love with the salty and savory crispiness that I tasted by chance. Will the seagull heading to the village find Crispy? A delightful picture book with animation-like composition and vivid characters. Have you ever seen the video of a seagull sneaking into a dockside shop, clutching a bag of chips in its beak, and running away? The seagull sneaked into the shop, watching closely, and then swooped out with the chips, almost as swift as it could have been. This UCC, filmed in a dockside shop in Scotland, made the seagull an instant star, and tourists even paid the shop owner for the snacks in advance so the seagull could just take them. And that video inspired a Korean writer to create a picture book called “Crispy Seagull.” "The Crunchy Seagull" is a picture book about a seagull who used to live on a rocky island eating fish, but then abandons the sea and comes to live with people because he loves crunchy, delicious snacks. The seagull character's various actions and expressions are very interesting. The author's personality as an animation concept designer is evident in the work. The seagull's actions and expressions change in various ways following its emotional line, and the exaggerated action and screen composition when it first encounters crunchy snacks are especially enjoyable, as if watching an animation. The story progresses from the seagull's perspective, beautifully depicting the sea and the village from various perspectives. The picture is expressed in a refreshing way, as if watching a video, without being stereotyped. The illustrations, drawn at seagull level, help children immerse themselves in the book, feeling as if they were flying over the sea, sneaking into villages, and wandering along the docks. The book's charm is enhanced by the vibrant seagull characters and actions, the diverse compositions and rich colors, and the cartoon-like composition and fun. This work has the advantages of both animation and picture books, so I can confidently recommend it to children who are not familiar with books but are familiar with animation. |

Publisher's Review
The free-spirited seagulls are addicted to the new taste!
Seagulls, flying freely in the blue sky above the sea, gather and live on a large rock island.
When the warm wind blows, they fly high to search for schools of fish, and when they are full after eating the fish they catch, they gather with their friends and chat.
Then one day, a large ship was passing by the rocky island, and children were throwing something from the back of the ship.
One of them fell among the seagulls, and one of them took a bite of it because it smelled salty and savory.
Crispy! It was an amazing taste that the seagull had never tasted before!
The seagulls wanted more of the crispy stuff.
When people threw it from the boat, it flew and chased after the boat.
It was different from when I was catching fish.
They had to fly as if fighting each other to eat even one more.
As I was eating so absentmindedly, I realized that it was already a village of people and my stomach was no longer full of crispy food.
But the seagulls, already immersed in the crispy food, circled around the people.
I searched through the town trash cans and even shouted at the dock, but all I found was crumbs.
“Give me that salty, crunchy, and delicious thing!” he shouted loudly, but the people couldn’t understand the seagulls, so they just threw him fish heads.
I don't know if that makes the seagull any angrier.
Then one night, a seagull flew deep into the village of people, wondering what was on its mind.
And then he snuck into a deep alley.
A seagull enters a village under the cover of darkness and asks a large dog in front of a house's door.
“Have you ever seen something that tastes salty and savory and looks like this? It even makes a crunchy sound······.”
The seagull, who loved the blue sky, clouds, and the sea, fell in love with Crispy and flew deep into the village.
I desperately asked the dog about the whereabouts of Crispy, but the dog didn't seem to want to tell me much.
Will the seagull ever find the crispy crust? Will the seagull, once hooked on crispy crust, continue to eat only crispy crust?
Turning the pages reveals surprising seagull behavior that surpasses our expectations.
Meet the delightful picture book, "Crispy Seagull," which depicts the adventures of seagulls who have fallen in love with crispy food.
A picture book that makes you think about desire and freedom.
The delightful picture book "Crispy Seagull" makes us think about our desires and freedom through the image of a seagull falling in love with a delicious, crunchy snack.
Before tasting the crispy crust, the seagulls were free.
When I was hungry, I caught fish, when I was full, I chatted, and I lived a life of flying in the sky with my friends.
I was happy because I could do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted.
But the seagulls' lives changed when they accidentally tasted something crunchy.
I could only fill my stomach when people threw me crispy bread.
After that was gone, they started rummaging through trash cans, wandering around town, and even robbing supermarkets.
Is this behavior what the seagull really wants?
The author says that the first cookie the seagull encounters is a desire thrown at us, and the second cookie it tastes is a desire it has become accustomed to.
As if it had become unhappy if it wasn't filled, the seagull stopped thinking and focused on finding something crispy.
I didn't have the strength to resist my desires.
This book makes you think about the desires, patience, and freedom that lie between a life where you can eat what you want but are tied down and cannot fly freely, and a life where you can live freely in your original space without being able to eat as much as you want.
This picture book, which is attractive in itself as a story and becomes even more wonderful when you think about the subject matter, is a serious topic that even adults can think about through the conflicting and desireful seagulls, and it is melted into a cute and witty drawing style.
