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

The first pages

It was sports day at a school in Calgary. The best race of the day was the relay, where four runners shared one bright red baton.

Hannah's team had Aarav, Bella, Jamal and Hannah. "I'll run last," said Jamal. "I'm the fastest." Everyone took their spots around the field.

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

  • What happened when Bella dropped the baton?
  • What did Jamal say to make Bella feel better?
  • How can a team help someone who makes a mistake?
