A Buzzby StorybookRoom at the Rail

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

The first pages

Nadia and her family took a whale watching boat from Victoria, British Columbia. The ocean sparkled, and the wind smelled salty and fresh.

"Orcas ahead!" called the guide. Everyone rushed to the rail. Black fins rose out of the water, tall and shiny.

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

Talk time questions

  • Why could Kai not see the orcas?
  • What is a family group of orcas called?
  • When could you make room for someone?
