A brand new year! Celebrating with 2-for-2022 with a letter and question from Finpals! Letter (with super cute drawing) first:

Finpals who are just learning to write,can tell a teacher or adult their questions for Norman T. Goldfish. (The T stand for “The” because “The” is Norman’s middle name.) Like this one:

 

Do you have a favorite animal? If so, why? Do you think Norman the Goldfish has a favorite animal? He sure does! Actually he has 2. Can you guess what they might be? Here’s a hint:

T also stands for “tell” and “tricks” and “tail”—as in Norman’s tail is finny and long. One of Norman’s favorite animals doesn’t live in water or have a tail. The other one only lives in water (but salt water, not fresh water). And it has a long tail—so long it can wrap it around coral or grass and hold tight during rough seas.
