An instant children's bestseller upon release! Kkamnyang, the Problem-Solving Cat, returns for a third story. Kkamnyang, the charming cat who has won readers' hearts with remarkable warmth and charisma, is back once again. Though Kkamnyang often says "I don't usually do this, but..." with a prim and proper tone, the truth is this lovable character always steps up first to help anyone in trouble—a delightful contradiction that makes Kkamnyang so endearing. This series began after winning the Grand Prize in Changbi's "Good Children's Books" manuscript contest, and has continued with sequels thanks to the enthusiastic support of young readers. After visits to an apartment security office and a pizza shop, Kkamnyang's next stop is a taekwondo studio, echoing with the spirited shouts of children in training. From teaching taekwondo moves to managing students and even promoting the studio, there's a lot to do—can Kkamnyang handle it all? A swift front paw strike! A powerful back-leg kick! Kkamnyang, with fur flying, stands up for justice. While napping in front of the school, Kkamnyang spots a flyer offering a free gift for anyone who brings it to the taekwondo studio, and decides to check it out. The instructor is startled to see Kkamnyang appear out of nowhere, and gently ties a white belt around Kkamnyang's belly, asking the cat to please leave. But Kkamnyang loves the white belt so much that leaving with a free gift and nothing more just won't do—so Kkamnyang offers to become the instructor's assistant instead. True to form as a problem-solving cat, Kkamnyang creates an unforgettable memory for Na-eun, who is attending her final taekwondo class, and firmly steps in to mediate a sparring match between Min-jae and Hyun-woo that has turned into a real fight, showing off signature moves like the "Meow Punch" and the "Back-Leg Bash." Readers are sure to burst out laughing at Kkamnyang's earnest yet silly attempts to imitate taekwondo techniques. Kkamnyang's adventures don't stop at the taekwondo studio. When a thief breaks into a dumpling shop, the instructor and Kkamnyang team up in perfect harmony to chase him down—and the thrilling scene of the instructor's impressive kicks combined with Kkamnyang's incredible jumping ability makes for a satisfying, triumphant capture. Kkam-nyang-kkam-nyang, giving it everything you've got! As Kkamnyang works to solve problems, the phrase "kkam-nyang-kkam-nyang" comes up. As explained in the first book, "kkamnyang" means "the ability to judge and handle things on one's own," while "kkam-nyang-kkam-nyang" means "giving it everything you've got." This book features a variety of characters who give their very best—"kkam-nyang-kkam-nyang"—at whatever they're doing. Na-eun tries her hardest to follow along with her forms even in her very last taekwondo class, and Hyun-woo and Min-jae feel proud after helping the injured grandfather at the dumpling shop and are rewarded with delicious dumplings. The dumpling shop grandfather, too, works hard to make the tastiest dumplings and is ultimately awarded the "Golden Dumpling" prize. Just like Kkamnyang, who may not be skilled at taekwondo but still earns everyone's love by doing the assistant's job with heart and effort, this book offers readers courage—the courage to know that you don't have to be the best to enjoy something—and hope, the hope that happiness comes to those who give their best in each moment. "I hope you'll always give it everything you've got, kkam-nyang-kkam-nyang—whether you're playing or learning. What, you're wondering if you really need to try your hardest even when playing? Of course you do! That way, you won't feel like playing when it's time to study. What's that? You say you still want to play more no matter how much you've already played? Well, sigh, I guess there's no helping it then—you'll just have to play even harder, until there's not even a speck of 'want to play more' left in you." _From "Words from Kkamnyang"
