Admire the colors with your child. Babies can help point to the birds. Talk with toddlers about what
happens when the cat appears. After reading the story, look outside to see real birds. What colors
are they? Do you see any cats or dogs?
Aflock of
happy birds.

Red
Light,
The words red light and green light can also
become a family code for things your child is or is not
allowed to do. If your toddler asks about the yellow light, add another verse:
Yellow light means wait, wait, wait, even if you’re late, late, late.

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

It’s also baby-safe, made of a tear-resistant, washable material with rounded corners and a stitched — not stapled — binding.
