Tickle your child’s hand as you read this poem. What interesting tiny neighbors can you and
your child find outside? If you want to let your child hold one, pick it up and gently place it
in your child’s hand. If not, just look without touching.

SONG
(To the tune of
“The Farmer in the Dell”)
B-z-z-z, bee, to my flowers.
B-z-z-z, bee, to my trees.
B-z-z-z, bee, to my bushes.
But please, bee, don’t b-z-z-z me!
Some children think the unfamiliar buzzing of a bee sounds scary. Singing the song in a
playful way can help ease your child’s fears.

After your child finds these three tiny friends, enjoy the rest of the picture. How many circles

with a railing.)

Luna moth soon.
This little story is filled with delicious words you and your
child can savor together. Say them slowly as you point to
the pictures. Your toddler may enjoy repeating them even
before he knows exactly what the story means. If he asks,
you can say the caterpillar eats moonflower leaves, grows,
goes into a cocoon, and comes out a beautiful moth.
Surprise your little one by making creatures from
bits of fruit. They don’t have to look real. Yum! SILLY

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.
