A Buzzby StorybookA Pear for the Bear

Ages 5 to 8 Kindergarten to 3rd Grade 10 pages Read aloud

The first pages

Lucia and her mamá went to the Saturday market in San Antonio. "Can you find me a pear?" Mamá asked. Lucia nodded and skipped off.

Lucia came back hugging a fuzzy brown teddy bear from the toy stall. "Here is a bear!" she said proudly. Mamá laughed. "I said pear, mi amor. The fruit kind!"

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.

Talk time questions

  • What did Lucia bring back instead of a pear?
  • Can you think of two words that sound the same but mean different things?
  • Why do you think word mixups can be funny?
