STORY ThE Hoppy
The hoppy boppy birdie flies
up to build a nest.
This is a robin family, but many other birds make nests, too. As you read the story, point out the
nest, mother bird, eggs, and baby birds. Then sing the story to the tune of “Itsy Bitsy Spider.”

STORY A Chat with
the Birds
I say hello
to the duck and the crow
to the robin
and also the owl
in the tree.
Point to the birds and imitate their sounds as you read to
your baby. Encourage your toddler to hoot, chirp, caw,
and quack back to you. Outside, you and your child can
listen for the calls of birds.
With a hoot and a chirp,
with a caw and a quack,
the birds in the park
say “hello” back to me.

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.
