HiPPy Phillips, Jasmine JASMINE: When I was about four or five my auntie and my mom enrolled me and my cousin, who was the same age as me, into this program called "Hippy" and it's like this lady she used to come over to our house and bring us books and stuff. They used to always bring us slinkies so the only reason I really liked to read is so I could get a slinky. So I guess toys were the reason I learned how to read and ever since then I liked reading.
