Munch munch munch. Oh, hello, everyone! Crunch munch chew. Sorry, I’m just having a healthy snack. You’ll learn all about healthy and unhealthy food in this issue. Don’t worry, you can see some unhealthy, but tasty, Christmas sweets, too, and learn more about Christmas traditions and music. We also have Jirka’s new message from Wales, Matilda in her new school, Star Wars characters in space, and some interesting ﬁsh in the water. And we have an interview with a brave and clever girl in Pakistan! Still need more? How about a new comic about Odysseus, lots of new puzzles, and a new adventure with the Impossible Portal? We think you’ll have lots of fun with this issue.

From all of us at RR, we wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, a Happy New Year, and we’ll see you in January!

RR December 2017

There are about 25 diﬀerent types of seahorse. Some are only 1.5 centimetres long. Others can be 36 centimetres long. That’s a big seahorse. I like warm salt water by the beach. I have a very clever tail14 that can hold things. Small fish and shrimp15 are my favourite foods. I don’t like big fish because they like to eat me. I live for around three years. Seahorses have a funny way to hatch16 their eggs. The father seahorse has a small pouch17 on his stomach. The mother seahorse puts her eggs in this pouch. The eggs stay there until they hatch. Then lots of baby seahorses come out.
