DG Magazine
Every girl loves DG magazine.
It’s filled with helpful tips for me.
Plus advice columns and inspiring stories.
The quizzes and crafts are really neat.
I can never wait until I get the next issue.
When it finally comes, I jump with glee.
I always read it from cover to cover.
How many issues have I seen?

I Wish
I wish, I wish for strawberry pie,
Apple, cherry, my oh my.
I wish, I wish for tiger lily,
Lilac, daisy petals frilly.
I wish, I wish for a butterfly,
Flitting, floating, high in the sky.
I wish, I wish on a shooting star
That my wishes will come true.
And my dreams will never be far!
–Leandra, N.Y.
Best Friends
iPods are cool,
But they’re just a tool.
Best friends are better,
They stick together!
At your house or at the mall,
No matter if you’re short or tall.
Go best friends,
Go best friends!
How many best friends do you have?
1, 2, 3…

How Many Times
How many times, how many times

Without falling on your rump?
How many times, how many times,
Can you jump?
1, 2, 3…

Cherry Blossoms
Cherry blossoms on the tree,
Grab as many you can see.

Pull some from that blossom snow.

How many can you catch? Let’s see!

Strong wind blows through swirling faster,
Hurry catch them ‘fore they’re gone!

One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish,
Bouncing, bouncing, make a wish!
