A Buzzby StorybookStory Time for Shelter Dogs

Ages 5 to 8 Kindergarten to 3rd Grade 10 pages Read aloud

The first pages

Ivy was nervous about reading out loud. She stumbled on long words, and her cheeks got hot. Then Mom found a special volunteer program.

At the animal shelter, kids could read stories to the dogs. "Dogs do not mind if you get a word wrong," said Mr. Kim, the volunteer leader.

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 Ivy nervous about reading?
  • How did reading help Pickles?
  • How could you help animals in your community?
