The Nine-Year-Old Dictionary series, beloved by children
Returning to the topic of 'environment', which we must read now.

A book titled "Environmental Dictionary for Nine-Year-Olds," which contains 80 expressions that foster ecological sensitivity, has been published.
This is the new book in the 'Nine-Year-Old Dictionary' series ('Nine-Year-Old Mind Dictionary', 'Nine-Year-Old Together Dictionary', 'Nine-Year-Old Feeling Dictionary'), which has been greatly loved and established as a must-read for children since the first volume was published in 2017.
This series is included in the elementary school textbook 『Korean Language 2-1㉯』, and has sold over 800,000 copies, receiving steady support from young readers, parents, and teachers.
While previous books taught children how to express their emotions and relationships and live harmoniously with their surroundings, "Environmental Dictionary for Nine-Year-Olds" broadens that perspective, helping them cultivate an attitude of respect and care for nature and the Earth that coexists with us.
The greatest strengths of the 'Nine-Year-Old Dictionary' series—friendly commentary at a child's level, abundant examples, and lovely illustrations—are fully demonstrated in this new edition.


The first step to a happy everyday life and protecting a beautiful Earth
80 Vocabulary Words Explained from an Ecological Perspective

Environmental issues such as drought, heavy rain, forest fires, fine dust, and marine debris, which are repeatedly reported in the news, are also concerns in children's daily lives.
『Environmental Dictionary for Nine-Year-Olds』 is a book that helps young readers naturally understand this reality and express it in their own words.
From 'cultivate' to 'recover', 80 words related to the environment are introduced in alphabetical order, and the concept of the environment, which children encounter for the first time, is organized in a way that makes it easy to understand by connecting it to everyday examples.
It is characteristic that commonly used words are explained from an ecological perspective.
For example, 'wait' is a scene where one waits for the apple tree planted in one's grandmother's yard to bear fruit, and 'stop' is a scene where one goes to the mountain and picks up acorns and puts them back.
Additionally, the word 'mysterious' stimulates children's imagination by introducing them to experiences such as seeing a shooting star by the river or watching a stag beetle sprout wings.

To help you move beyond simply learning about the environment and put it into practice, we've created a "Let's Try It!" section for each heading, suggesting simple but meaningful actions.
By presenting goals that children can participate in like play, such as ‘Find the Diverse Creatures King’ and ‘Our Home Energy Detective’, it creates a sense of accomplishment and sustained interest.

Learning environmental sensitivity and expressiveness in a fun way

『Environmental Dictionary for Nine-Year-Olds』 is filled with poet Park Seong-woo's friendly examples and artist Kim Hyo-eun's warm and vibrant illustrations to help children intuitively understand environmental expressions and concepts they encounter for the first time.
The text and illustrations, which delicately capture children's emotions and daily lives, provide the joy of new discovery with every turn of the page.
In particular, the four-panel cartoons that vividly show various situations and the spread illustrations containing key words such as 'life', 'natural environment', and 'equality' further increase the reader's immersion.

This book also introduces environmental common sense that children can easily practice in their daily lives, such as energy-saving habits, proper waste separation methods, and examples of new recycling.
By learning rich language expressions, children naturally develop awareness of environmental issues and a sense of social responsibility.
Whether expressing their appreciation of natural landscapes, sharing opinions on environmental issues, or making practical suggestions, this will empower children to express themselves confidently and with a richer vocabulary.
