A Buzzby StorybookLaces Take Time for Theo

Ages 3 to 7 Preschool to 2nd Grade 10 pages Read aloud

The first pages

Theo had new running shoes with real laces. "I want to tie them myself," he told his mom by the door of their Halifax apartment.

He made one loop. He wrapped the other lace around. But the loop slipped, and the laces flopped down.

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

Talk time questions

  • Why did Theo stomp his foot?
  • What trick did Mom teach Theo?
  • What is something you learned by practising?
