Dear Readers





Why Is It Silly?





When I talk with young children—especially those I’m meeting for the first time—
I like to ask them a silly question to break the ice: Did you drive here in a banana? Is
there a giraffe on my head? It might take a few tries, but I usually get some giggles.
Silliness is a great way to connect with young children not only because the sound

of their laughter is delightful, but also because questions like those can lead to smart
discussions. This is what we like to do in High Five with the puzzle “That’s Silly.”
Children find the sillies, but then the conversation can grow: Why do you think that’s
silly? Is that silly to everyone or just us? This encourages children to use their critical-
thinking skills and to articulate their thinking—skills that will serve them a lifetime.

Sincerelyy,
Si nc er el
We love to hear from you! [email protected]

The Tall and the Small





By Lissa Rovetch • Art by Amy Wummer
Tex and Indi











































































Tex and Indi were going on a hike with


Niko’s family to see the giant redwood trees.


“Are the giant redwood trees as tall as an

elephant?” asked Tex.


“Taller!” said Niko’s mom.




6 August 2019

“Are they as

tall as a giraffe?”


asked Indi.


“Taller,”


said Niko’s


mom. “Look

up and see for


yourselves!”


The kids

looked up and


up . . . and up.








































August 2019 7

“Whoa,” said Niko. “How did they get so huge?”


“Well,” said Niko’s mom, “redwood trees can grow 10 feet


every year and they can live to be 2,000 years old.”







8 August 2019

Just then, Niko’s little sister, Annie, squealed,

“Look!” She gently touched a teeny-tiny insect, and it


rolled up into a ball.


“Hey!” said Niko. “That bug just did a magic trick!”


“It’s a roly-poly,” said Tex. “I learned about those in


my bug book.”

“This is the best hike ever,” said Indi. “We saw


super-tall things and a super-small thing, and they all


were amazing!”

Piggies









and





One Lemonade







Stand









By Viji K. Chary • Art by Kristyna Litten





The first little piggy went to

market and bought lemons.


The second little piggy dragged


a table from her garage.


The third little piggy pulled

out a tablecloth from his closet.


The fourth little piggy made a


“Lemonade” banner.


The fifth little piggy collected

cups from his kitchen.


The piggies put up a lemonade


stand with a table, tablecloth,


banner, cups, and lemonade.

Little Red Riding Hood


stopped by. “I’m on my


way to Granny’s house,


and I’m thirsty,” she said.

























The Gingerbread Boy


ran to the table. “Quick!”


he said. “May I have some

lemonade?”























Goldilocks hurried


out of a house. “That


lemonade looks just


right,” she said, and she

drank the whole cup.
















14 August 2019

“Ahem,” said the Wolf. “I’d like some


lemonade, please.”


The five little piggies ran, wee, wee, wee, all


the way home.

Claire














THE BIG KID







By Liz Rasley • Art by Adriana Santos










“I’m ready to be a big


kid,” announced Claire


one morning.

“OK,” said Mama. “What


big-kid thing can you do at


the store?”


“I want to push the cart,

Mama,” declared Claire. “I’m


Claire the Big Kid.”




























August 2019 21

When they arrived

home, it was snack time.


“May I make the


snack?” asked Claire.

“Yes, let’s make it


together,” said Mama.


“I’m Claire the Big


Kid,” said Claire as she


cut a banana.



























After that, it was time

for Petunia’s walk.


“Mama, may I walk


Petunia?” asked Claire.


“Of course,” said Mama.


Claire grinned. “I’m

Claire the Big Kid.”




















22 August 2019

That night, at bedtime, Mama tucked Claire into bed.

“I love you, my little sweet pea.”


“No,” said Claire. “You love me big sweet pea.” She


wiggled under the blanket. “I’m Claire the Big Kid.”
