“I hope that if you read it just because it’s interesting, you will naturally learn about the animals that live on this planet with us, and naturally become aware of the laws of nature, and grow into a wiser person.”_Choi Jae-cheon

★ A biology fairy tale for children who love the Earth

The planet is reeling from the pandemic and climate crisis.
It is time to find a way to live in harmony with nature.
Coexistence with nature is even more urgent and desperate for our children who will live in the next generation.
But in reality, our children are too far removed from nature.
Can children who have lived without a connection to nature learn to love and protect the Earth and nature?
The concerns for the 『Choi Jae-cheon's Animal Adventure』 series began there.
Nature is not an object to be conquered and learned, but rather an object to be experienced, known, felt, and loved.
"Choi Jae-cheon's Animal Adventure" is a book that paves the way and helps children connect with nature.
The 『Choi Jae-cheon's Animal Adventure』 series is a book that leads you into the world of biology, where you can experience and love nature directly, rather than just fragmented biological knowledge.


★ A fairy tale about the dream of Choi Jae-cheon, a boy who wanted to become Tarzan.

『Choi Jae-cheon's Animal Adventure』 is a book planned and supervised by Professor Choi Jae-cheon, a leading biologist and popular YouTuber in South Korea, as a series of biology fairy tales for the next generation.
Professor Choi Jae-cheon was responsible for selecting themes for each volume, setting characters, reviewing text and illustrations, and reviewing explanatory information.
In addition, he appears as 'Dr. Ant', one of the main characters of the fairy tale, adding to the fun of the fairy tale.


Professor Choi Jae-cheon was a boy who wanted to be Tarzan, live like Tom Sawyer, and have a tree house.
He is proud of his childhood, when he played in the mountains and the sea, collected spider webs to catch beds, and dug holes in the river to make hideouts, as the strength that made him who he is today.
In the book, Professor Choi Jae-cheon's experiences and thoughts come to life as stories.
Professor Choi Jae-cheon believes that while it is natural for children to learn about nature, they cannot learn it through problem-solving.
The power of stories that broaden our understanding of nature through fun reading and talking, and that leads to love.
That is the power of the story in this book.


★ Mimicry: One of Nature's Most Wondrous Phenomenons

The 『Choi Jae-cheon's Animal Adventure』 series selects one biological theme for each volume and incorporates it into a fairy tale.
The first volume, which opens the series, explores the theme of 'mimetics'.
Mimicry is a phenomenon in which one living thing imitates or resembles another living thing or inanimate object, causing confusion.
Mimicry is a result of the evolution of living things over a long period of time, and is an important evidence of evolution. It is a phenomenon that can actually be observed in many places around us.
It's fun to take them apart one by one, and you can feel the wonder of life.
The biological knowledge embedded in the story is covered in more depth in 'Dr. Ant's Biology Classroom'.
This is also composed of interesting examples and explanations from Professor Choi Jae-cheon's unique perspective, similar to Professor Choi Jae-cheon's YouTube channel, rather than a rigid method of conveying knowledge, which is good for awakening children's curiosity about biology.
The book's appendix, "Endangered Wildlife Cards," will also help children understand the diversity and preciousness of life.
For a planet where many living things help each other and coexist, let's give the gift of "Choi Jae-cheon's Animal Adventure 1" to our children, the leaders of tomorrow.
