Connect the dots to discover one of the most famous swamp creatures. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 26 27 24 25 17 18 19 20 22 21 23 28 30 31 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 29 32 33 34 35 36 37 3 39 40 41 42 32 33 34 These are the largest reptiles in North America. They are believed to be over 200 million years old. Once nearly extinct, they can live between 35 to 50 years in the wild. Will there be fireworks, will there be parades? Maybe not this 4th of July, but we will for sure be flying the flag and celebrating America's Independence Day on our Spotlight pages. If you're going to be outside having fun, you'll want to know how to Protect your Skin — SLIP, SLOP, SLAP, SEEK & SLIDE — discover what that all means on pages 8 and 9. It's a great way to avoid a burn. And see if you can say it five times fast for a good giggle. The beach or the fair? I want to visit both! See how waves form and what causes tides on pages 5 and 6. The Fun at the Fair pages 16 and 17 have tons of puzzles and games to go with all the festivities. July 23rd is the opening day of the Summer Olympics and what better time to learn about the great African-American athlete, Jesse Owens, who made Olympic history in 1936. Then I'll see how I stack up against the Amazing Animal Athletes on Pages 10 and 11. While I may not be the fastest, strongest, most athletic cat in the world, I can still take pride in presenting you with the July Kid Scoop News — Fab Summer Fun for Fantastic Readers!
