A story with a good lesson

This is a nicely illustrated story with a good message and my 2.5 year old twins request it from time to time. Yoon receives a Korean story book about a girl who is tricked by a tiger for her birthday, when all she really wants is a jumprope. Her mom also hands down her precious jade bracelet to Yoon. Yoon is tricked at school by a tiger girl, but in the end she outwits her. I like that the story talks about an immigrant girl who is adjusting to life in a new country where she is hoping to meet new friends.
