Seals
by Alexandra
Seals are very cute and fascinating.  They have black eyes and small noses with whiskers.  They have feet shaped like paddles, which makes them professional swimmers.  They are built for self defense, with their streamlined body and load of thick fur; in fact, touch your head.  A seal has more fur on an area the size of a chipmunk than hair on your entire head!  Plus, seals can even jump in the air to escape from danger.

Mobs in Minecraft
by Semira
Can monsters be a problem? Yes, they can. When you start Minecraft you have 10 hearts. You can die from drowning, falling from a high place, getting pricked by a cactus, getting burned, getting poisoned, etc. You can also get attacked by monsters. 
The three monsters I am going to be talking about are Endermen, Creepers, and Witches. I chose these three monsters because I think that the tactics that they use to kill you are different from what other monsters do to kill you. I hope you enjoy!
