The first pages

In the morning, Zoe's shadow was long and skinny. It stretched across the whole meadow.

"Shadow, why are you so tall?" she asked. The shadow did not answer. Shadows are quiet like that.

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

Talk time questions

  • When was Zoe's shadow the longest?
  • Why was it tiny at lunchtime?
  • What shadow shapes can you make with your hands?
