A Buzzby StorybookElio Under the Starry Dome

Ages 3 to 10 Preschool to 5th Grade 10 pages Read aloud

The first pages

Elio's class in Vancouver went on a trip to the planetarium. Inside was a giant round room with a ceiling shaped like a dome.

Elio loved stars, but he did not love the dark. "Will it be very dark in here?" he asked his teacher, Ms. Novak.

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

Talk time questions

  • Why was Elio worried about the planetarium?
  • What did he see on the dome?
  • What helps you feel safe in the dark?
