    Dear Cricket,

    How has everybuggy been lately? I’ve been doing well. I am so excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas and winter! Ladybug, do you have any good tips for snowball fights? This sounds unbelievable, but in my area we got two inches of snow last winter. Brrr!

    Cricket, I think you should do a soccer comic soon. Here is a haiku for everyone:

    A bright moonlight

    Shining through a dark sky

    Just black and white

    (Pussywillow may cry.) Muffin, what is your favorite drink? I like eggnog the best.

    Emerson Enbysk, age 10

    University Place, Washington

    Dear Emerson,

    Try to find a spot of cover where you can make an advance supply of snowballs to be ready for the fight. And Muffin favors English breakfast tea. We love your haiku.

    Moonlight and snowballs!

    Ladybug
