Description Based on content from the Encyclopedia Britannica company in Chicago, USA, this book organizes essential curriculum content that Korean elementary school students need to know into a systematic learning structure. Without distinguishing between the humanities/social sciences and natural sciences, it covers comprehensive knowledge related to each topic, helping to nurture creative talents who possess both humanistic imagination and an understanding of science and technology. Rather than relying on lengthy, tedious text and explanations, the book organizes a large amount of information into visual images. The infographic provided at the beginning of the book summarizes the core content of each volume through diagrams and illustrations, sparking readers' interest. The main comic strips, which explain learning content in an entertaining way, along with a variety of photo images, will also help readers quickly absorb information and remember it for a long time. Furthermore, rather than simply listing fragmented pieces of information, the book depicts the characters in the comics pursuing positive values based on the knowledge and experiences they've gained. Readers will encounter stories that cherish the environment, respect differences, and consider the universal good of humanity. Prologue: I Hate Hospitals! 8 01 Diseases Where Does It Hurt?
