POEM
Mama and
baby manatee
swim together
under the sea.
They snack
and nap,
then snack
some more.
Manatees
love living just
offshore.
Point out that the mama manatee is big
and the baby is small. Crouch down to your
child’s height, then slowly stand to “grow.”
Your toddler can crouch down to be a
baby, then “grow” with you.
STORY
and
Bea
Boris is large and has
a great big bed.
Bea is small and has a
cozy little bed.
Does your child like to sprawl out in your big bed?
Try to squeeze into tiny spaces? Talk about other
examples of too big, too little, and just right.

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.

laughing, playing and reading Hello will help baby to make positive connections between reading and fun.
