A Buzzby StorybookPass the Ball, Marcus

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

The first pages

Marcus loved basketball more than anything. At the city court in Chicago, he dribbled, he shot, and he never, ever passed the ball.

His teammates Zoe, Andrés and Kiana waved their arms. "I'm open!" they called. But Marcus kept the ball and shot again. Miss, miss, miss.

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

Talk time questions

  • Why were Marcus's teammates waving their arms?
  • How did Marcus feel after his first pass?
  • Why does passing help a whole team?
