I hear you loud and clear, Richard. Thanks for telling me how much you love stories about myths. It can be hard to find those types of articles in the news, but I will keep looking for you!

Yes, I do recommend an article, Jennah! At the end of 2024 we wrote a story for the 50th anniversary of Hello Kitty. It is called "Happy 50, Hello Kitty!"

Good question, Harper! I love a lot of Dr. Seuss's books. But my favorite would have to be "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" It was one of the last books he ever wrote. And it's got a beautiful message!

Hello, Anthony. You can have a parent or trusted adult help you contact the Kids First! Film Critic group. They have some options to become an official kid critic. But you can also just become a kid critic by writing your own reviews of movies! Try writing about what you liked and didn't like as much after watching a movie.

Hey, Brendy! Scientist Larry Shaw created the first pi day celebration in 1988. The celebration was held a science museum called the San Francisco Exploratorium. 🥧

Hi, Ashanti. The Moon has phases because it is in orbit around the Earth in space. As the Moon moves around the Earth, different parts of it are lit by the sun's light. Other times, the position of the Earth between the Sun and the Moon blocks the light and causes a shadow. 🌕🌗🌑

Hi, Brinley! I wrote an article last year for National Bullying Prevention Month. Dr. Raychelle Lohmann is a counselor. She shared some helpful tips about how to handle bullying situations. You can read them in the article "A Time to End Bullying." We'll definitely have more stories about this important topic in the future. Thanks for asking!

Hi, Piper. Thanks for your great suggestion! There are many wildlife experts around the world working to protect Earth's endangered animals. One recent article we did was about pangolins! If you haven't seen it, check out "Protecting Pangolins with Science!" by Ryan Cramer. 📖

We've got you covered, Rafi! Diana Richard recently wrote an article about a very cheesy contest in Wisconsin! The story is called "Choosing America’s Top Cheese!" However, we're ALWAYS looking for more big stories for our yearly "50 States in 50 Weeks" series. If you ever have any Wisconsin-related story ideas, I'd love to hear about them! ✍️

Hi, Bradley. I do like those bald eagles living in Big Bear Valley in California! Did you hear that all three of their eggs have hatched? The most recent baby hatched on March 8! 🦅

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Rocio! Your reason makes sense to me. Who wouldn't enjoy more sleep?! 😴

I'm so happy that you love learning on News-O-Matic during the week, Adelaide! There is so much that I don't know. But the authors here learn new things all the time, just like you! I research topics, people, and events every day so I can help readers like you learn too.

My pleasure, Tatum! Thank YOU for reading News-O-Matic!

You got it, Kate! It is an honor to be able to tell you about the changing world each day. 🌏

Hello, Zoey. I'm thankful for readers like you! And I'm happy you like the articles so much. Thank you for reading News-O-Matic and for sending me your encouraging message!

Hi, Daniel. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed that movie review. We love to share reviews from kid critics! I'm not sure what the next movie will be, but I promise there will be more reviews from kids headed your way!

Hi, Dominic. That's a cool question! The farthest any humans have gone into space is flying to the far side of the Moon. In 1970, the crew of Apollo 13 flew 248,655 miles (400,171 km) away from Earth. The whole Apollo 13 mission lasted 5 days, 22 hours, 54 minutes, and 41 seconds. 🚀🌕

Thanks, Carter! Though, you might be thinking of NEWSIE. That's the name of the yellow dog on the cover! 🐶 I am a human. At least, I was the last time I checked! 😆 I hope you have a good day, too!

Thanks for your question, Mehmet! Most of our stories are handled by members of the News-O-Matic team. However, I think it's GREAT that you want to write your own article! First, try to come up with an idea for a story. Then, grab a pencil and paper (or a keyboard) and just WRITE! Don't get discouraged — you can always make changes later! You can even share your writing with friends, family, and teachers. One day, it just might even be your JOB! ✍️

Thanks for your kind message, Emilia! I'm so glad you enjoy spending time on News-O-Matic. It means the world to know you even read at home! What are your favorite stories to read here?
