A Buzzby StorybookGentle at the Tide Pool

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

The first pages

The tide was low on the rocky beach on Vancouver Island. Ayaan and his little sister Nila splashed toward the tide pools in their rubber boots.

Tiny pools of seawater sparkled between the rocks. Inside were purple sea stars, green sea anemones and little scuttling crabs.

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

Talk time questions

  • Why should we not pull sea stars off the rocks?
  • Why did Ayaan put the rock back the same way?
  • How can you be a kind visitor in nature?
