Actually, I'm really posting this in the hopes that someone can point out whatever mistakes I made in Korean and I can correct them.

I've linked it here, at a nice forum that actually lets its users link pictures: http://archives.tcj.com/messboard/viewtopic.php?t=7864

I created it in 3 hours. Anyone got the skillz to read it in 3 seconds?

Nice drawings. I can't draw, myself.

A couple things... you started off with 먹어요 but later it changed to 먹아요. 먹어요 is correct.

At the very end you wrote 임니다 but it should be 입니다.

Good work though!

Damn my sloppy Korean! thanks for pointing out those errors. I think I'll make a new version of this that's better drawn AND better written. thanks for the tips, and I'll correct accordingly. My wife also pointed out to me that 본대기 is a better word for caterpillar, that 고양 should actually be 고양이, and that 바고파요? is a less awkward way to say "Are you hungry?"

At the very end, it says ____입니다. but, it's a question, so it should be 입니까?. In addition, at the beginning of the sentence, it says '너' which is 반말. But, ___입니까 is not banmal. So you have to change one or the other.

배가 고파요?

Also don't know where you are getting 굶주린 입니다.

굶주리다 is a verb. Either 굶주려요? or 굶주립니까?

I admire your (or anyone's) artistic ability, as I can't draw to save my life.

I don't know what the purpose of this is, but it's a great way to learn Korean! Great job!

I think that anyone who wants to learn Korean should, like the OP, incorporate learning Korean into something they already like doing. It makes things much more interesting!

Well, practicing/learning Korean is part of why I did it. Plus, it's a storybook for my baby boy, who I hope grows up to be bi-lingual. I'll probably be making more of these in the coming months as I continue to study Korean.

Korean beavers do, I think.

Probably not. One thing I love about making children's books is the sheer unaccountability.
