Say kids, Norman had never even heard of a crawfish before receiving Scarlett’s letter. So, we looked it up in our go-to encyclopedia Kiddle. Here are some fun crayfish facts! and more about molting from Acuriopets. Click below for a closeup of a crawfish in action.

Some friends write letters, some ask questions, some send pictures. Norman glugs them all! Do you think Scarlett looks as worried as Norman’s human does in this drawing?
