A monthly child’s magazine issued by Bayard Presse Canada. Each issue is themed for the months which it covers (in this case a focus on winter activities). The magazine includes information about winter sports, winter cultural activities in other countries, various activities, and a poem. 

Bayard Presse Canada has 3 age groups for these magazines: Chirp, Chickadee, and Owl. Chirp is aimed towards 3–6-year-olds and as such is targeted towards younger children who are interested in activities but may have a short attention span. In seeking that audience, the magazine, or at least the issue in question, feels quite scattered as it touches briefly on many different topics.
