Happy March! What does March make you think about? Shamrocks? Leprechauns? Pots of Gold? Look for those in this month’s Kid Scoop News. How do those clever leprechauns get their gold? They don’t just find it at the end of a rainbow, the fairies have a lot to do with it!

Headlining the March sports scene is the NCAA basketball tournament. We go back in time to describe the roots of the game — a peach basket! A concrete hoop! Who knew? Read all about that on pages 16-17. Have you ever met a giraffe? Kid Scoop News gets the scoop on these tall, tall animals. How long is a giraffe’s tongue? Read and learn!

Find out more on pages 6-7. We also celebrate Women’s History Month with the story of Maria Mitchell who, against the odds, was able to become accepted as a professor of astronomy and even had a comet named after her.

Find all this and more, more, MORE fun things to read and learn about in our March issue of Kid Scoop News!
