WORD
WISE
The expression
"snug as a bug in
a rug" means you're
feeling cozy and
comfortable!
Marvellous
Mars
Mars is called the Red Planet
because it's covered in red
dust. The colour comes from
the iron in the dirt. Red Planet
Day is November 28, which is
the anniversary of NASA's first
mission to Mars!
A Puzzling
Map
The first jigsaw puzzle was
of a map! The inventor,
John Spilsbury, glued a map
to a plank of wood and cut
it up into pieces.
Sharks sleep even
though they can't
close their eyes.
