A Buzzby StorybookGrandpa Tomas Rolls the Coins

Ages 5 to 10 Kindergarten to 5th Grade 10 pages Read aloud

The first pages

Grandpa Tomas kept a big glass jar on the kitchen counter in Winnipeg. All year long, he and Sofia dropped in their spare coins with a happy clink.

One snowy afternoon, the jar was full right to the top. "Today we roll the coins," said Grandpa, spreading a soft towel across the kitchen table.

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

Talk time questions

  • How many quarters fit in one paper roll?
  • Which animals and pictures were on the Canadian coins?
  • What could your family save small coins for?
