A Buzzby StorybookHalf Rainbow, Half Racetrack

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

The first pages

In a busy Brooklyn neighbourhood, Esme and Jayden had a fresh bucket of sidewalk chalk. The whole sidewalk in front of their building was clean and empty.

"Let's draw a giant rainbow," said Esme. "No, a racetrack for my toy cars," said Jayden. They both reached for the same red chalk.

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 Esme and Jayden each want to draw?
  • How did they mix their ideas together?
  • Can you think of two ideas you could mix into one?
