A friendly hello can be the beginning of a new adventure. In Hello, My Friend!, the first Pre-A0+ story from JOYup, children meet Ella, Dave and their little friend Bunny.
The story introduces simple English greetings and everyday phrases through an easy-to-follow adventure about friendship, kindness and helping others.
Ella meets Bunny in JOYland and greets him with a cheerful “Hi!”
Soon, Dave joins them. As the friends walk together, they see someone chewing gum and dropping it on the path. Bunny accidentally steps on the sticky chewing gum and needs help.
Ella and Dave notice what has happened. They stop, help Bunny and make sure their little friend is all right. Bunny thanks them before saying goodbye.
