Swallowing the Library
“The Fox Who Ate Books, Swallowing the Library” is an exhibition hosted by the National Asian Culture Center Foundation in 2024, inviting outstanding children’s content from National Library for Children and Young Adults. Franziska Biermann’s “Herr Fuchs mag Bücher!(The Fox Who Ate Books)”, selected as a recommended book for first graders in even 2024, has been loved by children despite being published 23 years ago in 2001. This debut novel of the author, which has sold over 900,000 copies in Korea and introduced in fourteen countries, tells the imaginative story of Mr. Fox sprinkling a pinch of salt and a little pepper after reading a book and then devouring it.

Following Mr. Fox by Franziska Biermann, who reads, eats, writes, and seeks books, children find books that suit them, develop habits of reading for health and relaxation, and improve their reading skills. Don’t miss the experience corner where children can send letters directly to the author with their own stories for the next installment of the exhibition, ‘The Fox Who Ate Books, Autumn Story’ by Franziska Biermann. It will be a joyful and valuable opportunity to meet the author in a different way.
