Hello Mail!
- 10 spreads
- About 2 min of song
- English · Español
- Sings the child's name
Mo the mail pelican has a hello letter for every friend in town, and the bell for circle time is about to ring. But the satchel buckle is loose, the wind is strong, and the letters blow all over town: onto a goat, into a nest, under a cat, across a puddle. Who is this hello for? It's for you! A story to read aloud with one hello song to sing, and a verse of it for every child in the circle. Look for the orange letter with the heart on every page.
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.
