A Buzzby StorybookHail on a Summer Day

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

The first pages

It was a warm July afternoon on Aunt Grace's farm near Calgary. Suddenly, tall dark clouds rolled over the wheat field.

Tink, tink, tink, little white balls bounced on the porch roof while Joon and his aunt watched safely from the kitchen window. "Ice in summer?" Joon asked.

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

Talk time questions

  • Where does hail form?
  • Why did Joon see rings inside the hailstone?
  • Where is the safest place to be during a storm?
