Capes On, Say Hello!
- 10 spreads
- About 1 min of song
- English · Español
- Sings the child's name
It's moving day next door, and Kai has the perfect present for the new kid: a cape, so she can be a hero too. But his hello is SO big that she hides in a moving box. Capes on! With Super Nova's help, Kai tries four small hello powers: wave, wait, say your name, and share. Every hello that comes back is a little different. A story-and-song book about saying hello to someone new, and waiting for their hello in return.
Level 1 · First Songs
Listen, move, and join in with a sound.
The child: Listens, moves, claps or taps, and joins in with a sound, a word or a sign when the song stops for them.
The grown-up: Sings most of it. Pauses before the word that comes back so the child can fill it in, any way they can.
