The first pages

Off the coast of British Columbia, the evening waves rolled softly. Two little sea otters, Pip and Tula, floated on their backs.

"It is time to sleep," said Mother Otter. But Pip was worried. "What if I float away while I am sleeping?"

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 Pip worried about sleeping?
  • How do sea otters stay together while they sleep?
  • Who helps you feel safe when you are worried at bedtime?
