Mafalda and friends

 Mafalda is a character created by the  Argentine cartoonist Quino in the 60s.

Quino  died some days ago and we wanted to remember his strips .

This is what we know about Mafalda:

You can read some of Mafalda comic strips below and have fun with her and her friends.

We like reading

We like reading books... and magazines ... and comics ... and stories on the internet...
Reading helps us develop our vocabulary.
While we are reading we can visit another country o travel through space. We can learn all about other kids, or important events ...
Whatever topic we can think of, there's a book waiting to be read.

And, we don't just love to read books. We love to talk about them...

April 23rd, St George's Day

St. George's Day is on 23 April. It is England's national day.

One of the best-known stories about Saint George is his fight with a dragon.

There are many versions of the story of St George slaying the dragon, but most agree on the following:

1. A town was terrorised by a dragon.
2. A young princess was offered to the dragon
3. When George heard about this he rode into the village
4. George slayed the dragon and rescued the princess

This is my version of the story:

The Legend of St. George and the Dragon

Happy Earth Day!
