Overview

With interesting stories and data, this book informs us of changing life styles that vary with different climates.

Book Intro

The lifestyle changes that come with climate changes!

After agonizing over his career, The Bearded King decides to become the world's best explorer and heads to a mountain village where people do not frequently visit. The Bearded King meets a boy named Aung Jo who wants to see an emperor penguin in the hot and humid Amazon. The two travel around the world and experience many different climates. They travel to the Amazon (tropical climate); through the fierce cold (polar climate); up the Himalayas, which gets colder the higher it goes (mountain climate); to Siberia, where they saw a tiger; and Manhattan, an economic city with a dense population (temperate climate). The Bearded King and A-ung come to realize how much effect climate has on human lives.

Collect ideas on different climates that are imperative to know.

This story contains the key climate concepts of squalls, the characteristics of tropical climates, barren earth, precipitation/evaporation, the creation of dry climates, 250mm of precipitation, the division between a semi-arid climate and a savanna climate, polar climates only found in the Northern hemisphere, melting glaciers in the Arctic Ocean due to global warming, and alpine climates featuring differing vegetation based on altitude. The book also explains the key ideas of climates that elementary school students should understand such as rainfall and precipitation, semi-arid climates and savanna climate, latitude and longitude, and the Pampas of Argentina.

The face of the earth changes along with climate change

Aung who grew up in a tropical climate, is surprised to see autumn leaves. Seeing trees with colored leaves is strange to him, as he has gotten used to the green trees that exist in tropical climates all year round.

The Bearded King and Aung realize that food, clothes, houses, and what people do for a living differ depending on the climate in which they live.

As a result of the increase in sea level due to global warming, the Arctic Sea has changed. At the same time, the lives of the Inuit in the Arctic have changed, too. The Inuit used to go hunting for food, but now they settle in one place and do farming.

Students reading this book can learn that human lives and climates have an inseparable relationship and that the climate is one of the most important elements of our lives.
