    FUN FACT
    Why are tennis balls
    fuzzy? So they . . .
    feel like a hug.

    don’t go too fast or bounce too far.

    don’t scratch the court.


    Tennis balls are made of rubber. Without a felt covering, they
    would bounce too far and move too fast. The fuzz creates
    drag in the air and friction against the racket or court.

    BELLEN’S SNEAK PEEK


    BELLEN WOODARD, 11, is a crayon activist.
    When Bellen was in third grade, a classmate called
    a peach-colored crayon “the skin-colored crayon.”
    “I was kind of confused,” Bellen told TIME for Kids,
    “because my skin isn’t peach.” She was inspired to

    Peach. It includes crayons in
    many different skin colors.
    Bellen has written a book
    called More than Peach. In it, she
    tells her story. The book doesn’t
    come out until summer. But
    here’s a sneak peek at its cover.

    she told TIME for Kids.

    Saltwater crocodiles are powerful predators. They live in
    swamps and coastal waters. These reptiles are cold-blooded.
    This means their body temperature rises and falls with
    the temperature of their surroundings. Crocodiles
    communicate using a language that includes
    barks and chirps. They also communicate using visual and
    chemical signals.
    Saltwater crocodiles are carnivores. They eat only meat.
    These predators have adaptations that help them hunt.
    They also help the animal protect itself. Read the diagram.
    Learn more about the crocodile.
