A Social Studies Introduction Book Systematically Planned by the National Elementary Social Studies Teachers' Association!

The Kim Kelly's Cheerful Social Life series is a social studies introductory learning comic for elementary school students who are just beginning to learn social studies. Together with Kim Kelly — a YouTuber beloved by elementary school children — readers can enjoyably learn social studies textbook topics through comics. In the books, Kim Kelly, who transforms into an elementary school student, and her friends naturally experience and learn about politics, society and culture, law, economics, and media through exciting events that unfold at home, in school, and in the local community. Kim Kelly's Cheerful Social Life has been systematically planned by the National Elementary Social Studies Teachers' Association, reflecting the latest revised social studies textbooks. The series includes all the key concepts found in social studies textbooks, ensuring alignment with textbook learning, and thoroughly covers the everyday world of children — which is increasingly emphasized in recent elementary social studies curricula. It also contains essential social knowledge that children will need to know when they enter society.

Volume 3 is the economics edition. The villain Red Noise steals the recipe from the neighborhood's popular bakery, Meow Bakery, and opens a Woof Bakery right next door. Red Noise and the owner of Woof Bakery don't hesitate to engage in wrongdoing — such as overworking their employees late into the night! As a result of Red Noise's scheme, all the customers of Meow Bakery move over to Woof Bakery. Kelly joins forces with Black Moon to defeat Red Noise. "Red Noise, who's disrupting our neighborhood economy — I will not forgive you!" In this volume in particular, the true identity of the mysterious Black Moon is finally revealed, surprising readers! In addition, the volume features Kelly's struggles with managing her allowance, as well as a commotion involving Solbit Elementary's popular guy Min-su — who gets caught in a love triangle while trying to help Ki-young with his romantic pursuits. Join Kelly and her friends on their hilarious and eventful economic adventure!
