July is here, and I’m looking forward to watching the fireworks on Independence Day!

The birthday of our country is a special holiday, and my family always celebrates with some homemade ice cream. You’ll find a great recipe in Kidsville Kitchen.

You also might notice another theme in this issue. Our Come Out and Play article explores rodeo, we have an interview with a rancher for What’s It Like to Be and our Wildville animal is the Gila monster. What’s the connection? Well, I just visited the Sonora Desert in Arizona, and July 24 is the National Day of the Cowboy! I hope you enjoy this issue of Kidsville News! Keep reading, and be sure to visit online for more fun and games.

Hope you have a jubilant July!
