Have you ever wondered why the Evil Queen chose an apple, not a banana, to poison Snow White? Why did Mr. Fogg decide to undertake the 80-day journey around the world?
Classic literature hides unexpected scientific logic!

★ A general knowledge comic series tailored for ages 3-8 by Hugo Award winner Hao Jingfang, set in the "The Stellar Academy" universe.
★ The first volume set of the "The Stellar Academy" fiction series sold over 150,000 copies, establishing a massive reader base.
★ Written by a "scholar mom" with degrees in physics, astrophysics, and economics, reinterpreting literary classics through science to spark curiosity.
★ Covers 7 themes (food, plants, animals, ocean, architecture, earth, music) through literary stories, breaking disciplinary barriers to build a knowledge universe.
★ Features nearly 100 lessons, over 200 interactive games, and 28 audio lectures recorded by the author to bring knowledge to life.

The complete set comprises seven volumes:
"The Journey of Food," "Animal Transformations," "Plant Growth," "Exploring the Earth," "Amazing Architecture," "Voyage to the Ocean Floor," and "How Music is Made."

Set within the "The Stellar Academy" universe, this series follows Captain Cherry as she leads a group of children aboard the "Story Spaceship," traveling through various scenes from stories across time and cultures. For example, while learning about the Code of Hammurabi, children also discover the principles of written language; while exploring how food grows, they understand the relationship between plants and Earth's ecology.

From the origins of the Big Bang to imaginations of humanity's future, and from terrestrial biology to musical architecture, the entire series follows a progressive learning path: "Story Introduction - Raising Questions - Scientific Experiments - Summarizing Rules." This approach transforms abstract general knowledge into an exploratory journey that children can personally participate in.
This is a general knowledge enlightenment book that allows children to learn while reading stories and build cross-disciplinary thinking through interactive games.
