Fat fish splash in the river.
Talk about how the animals in this story
are alike and different. You could also
take a trip to a pet store and talk about
all the fish you see there!

My little goldfish swish in their fishbowl.
They blow fishy bubbles at me.
Read Me a Poem
Mama’s Monkey
#Z $IBSMPUUF (VOOVGTPO t "SU CZ )JSPF /BLBUB
Mama has a monkey,
A silly-willy monkey.
Mama has a monkey
Bouncing on her knee.
Act out this poem as you read it to your
little monkey. Later, when you reread the
poem, stress the M sounds in mama and
monkey and help your child think of other
words that begin with that sound.
Mama hugs the monkey,
The silly-willy monkey.
Mama hugs the monkey
And the monkey is me!

Tell Me a Story
Uh-Oh!
By Crystal Inwood
Uh-oh! Uh-oh! Look up high.
My balloon is in the sky!
After reading, talk about how the child
feels at the beginning, the middle, and
the end of the story. Then point to and
name the colors you see.
Art by Colonel Moutarde
Uh-oh! Uh-oh! Watch it go,
over the cars and trees. Oh no!
Uh-oh! Uh-oh! What’s that sound?
Pop! My balloon is falling down.
Mommy, Daddy, yip, yippee!
Another balloon just for me!
Sing Me a Song
Rock and Sing
(To the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”)
#Z 4UBDZ )BSU t "SU CZ /JOB EF 1PMPOJB
Rock, rock, rock and sing.
Rock and sing with me.
It’s almost time to go to sleep,
But now it’s time to sing.
Before you sing the last verse, you could add more verses:
Rock, rock, rock and clap. Rock and clap with me. . . .
Rock, rock, rock and yawn. Rock and yawn with me. . . .
Rock, rock, rock with me.
Close your eyes to dream.
Now it’s time to go to sleep.
Good night, my love, sweet dreams.
Bye-bye
for now!

Highlights Hello Magazine was introduced in December 2012. This magazine for babies and toddlers targets
children ages 0–2 years old. Highlights announced that this magazine, which is offered in several subscription
packages is designed specifically for babies.
Laughter and Learning
Each Hello magazine follows a theme such as Sounds, Food or Farm Animals, that helps young children make sense of their world. Every issue is filled with colorful images, whimsical read-aloud stories, poems and simple
activities that make babies giggle, laugh and learn. You’ll also find word play, games and lots of silly fun.
Babies love to look at other babies, so Hello also features plenty of photos of happy faces and little ones
laughing and playing. Plus, our read-aloud stories are just the right length for even the youngest ones’
attention spans.
Thoughtfully Designed
Hello is the perfect size for little hands to hold and to fit into a diaper bag or purse. It’s also baby-safe,
made of a tear-resistant, washable material with rounded corners and a stitched — not stapled — binding. For extra safety, Hello is mailed in an envelope that keeps it germ-free while it’s on its way to your home.
You’ll love watching your special little one get excited with every turn of a page. Best of all, time spent
laughing, playing and reading Hello will help baby to make positive connections between reading and fun.
