Taek Won Do Dinosaurs: How Dinosaurs Train to Get Their Black Belts - Y. PArk - Paperback

TAE KWON DO DINOSAURS: HOW DINOSAURS TRAIN TO GET THEIR BLACK BELTS blends children's interest in dinosaurs & tae kwon do. While most dinosaur books simply describe various aspects of how dinosaurs lived, this work uses children's interest in dinosaurs to foster their healthy progression in the ancient Korean martial art & modern day sport of tae kwon do. Tae kwon do emphasizes strength tempered by gentleness. The story is that of an uncoordinated brachiosaurus who discovers that success has do with respect, humility, perseverance & self-control rather than the negative outlets that occupy his friends. His encounter with the wise Mastersaurus helps him discover that he is capable of much more than he had previously thought. Brachiosaurus learns to understand what it means to have a good attitude, unlike that of Tyrannosaurus, whose negativity makes improvement possible. Mastersaurus & Brachiosaurus develop a special relationship & share their tribulations, in the tae kwon do school, at competition, at belt tests, & in ordinary life. The combination of dinosaurs & tae kwon do is aimed at holding children's interest so they can begin to understand the positive ideals toward which a good person, like a black belt, should strive.
