Dear Readers

Embrace the Music





I recently played Raffi’s “Down by the Bay” for my young daughter. The pick was a
nostalgic one for me, but we both enjoyed moving to the music.
We’ve included a lot of musical features this month. In the English/Spanish story, “Let’s

Make Music” (pages 20–23), a new guitar inspires friends to make maracas so they can all
jam together. Kitchen items turn into instruments in the poem puzzle “Kitchen Rock ’n’
Roll” (pages 16–17). The craft, “Paper Cup Drums” (pages 34–35), merges music with a bit
of science—how does the sound change if the cups are big or little, full size or cut in half?
Whether you sing or play an instrument, have fun making music this month!


We love to hear from you! Sincerely,y,

eds@highlights.com

I’m a Slug










By Barbara Skalak • Art by Mitch Mortimer




I’m a slug, not a bug—

I leave a trail of slime.


When it’s wet and rainy,


that’s my favorite time.






You’ll see me on the sidewalk


or in the garden bed.


To find my way around,


I use feelers on my head.

Different Kinds of Twins









By Lissa Rovetch • Art by Amy Wummer
Tex and Indi




































































“Welcome to karate, Little Dragons!” said

Mr. Jax. “We’ll be learning some new moves


today, so watch closely.”


Indi tried to watch Mr. Jax, but she was


distracted by the two girls in front of her.


They looked exactly the same.






6 March 2019

After class, Indi introduced herself to the girls.


“Wow, you must be twins!” she said.


“Yes, we’re identical twins,” said one of the girls.

“I’m Casey. This is Lucy.”


“Neat,” said Indi. “My brother and I are twins too!”





March 2019 7

“You can’t be twins,” said Miles. “Tex doesn’t


look like you, Indi.”


“Only identical twins look alike,” said Lucy.


“But there are lots of twins who look different.”







8 March 2019

“If you have the same mom and you were born


on the same day, then you’re twins,” said Tex.


“Tyler and I don’t have the same mom,” said Eli.


“But we pretend we’re twins because we both like

to build stuff and tell jokes. Plus, we have the exact


same shoes!”


“Wow,” said Miles. “I never knew there were so


many kinds of twins!”

Our Little Blue Car











By Christine Bernardi • Art by Shahar Kober

































































Grandpa is giving us his big red car. Mom says we’ll


give our little blue car to another family. I feel sad.


Our little blue car is special.


Once, I found a nickel under a mat. “What if one of

my toys is lost under the seat?” I ask Mom.


“You can check under all the seats,” she says.


I find another nickel. “Nothing else under there.”







26 March 2019

Mom has an idea. We take our little blue car to the


car wash. Inside the car wash, we find a place to sit.


Mom says, “Wait for a surprise.”

Here comes our little blue car! It is getting a shower.


We take our clean little blue car home.






March 2019 27

“Our car is ready for its new family,” Mom says.


I hide the nickel under the seat.


“Don’t you want to put the nickel in your bank?” Mom asks.

“The nickel is for the new family to find,” I tell her.


I say good-bye to our car.






28 March 2019

Mom says we will have lots more


adventures in our new red car.

Our little blue car will have lots


more adventures too.
