Ages 3 to 6 Preschool to 1st Grade 10 pages Read aloud

The first pages

It was a very Vancouver kind of day. The rain came down sideways. Ravi had a big blue umbrella and dry shoes.

At the bus stop, a little girl stood with her backpack over her head. Her hair was dripping.

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 Mei getting wet?
  • How many people fit under the umbrella?
  • What do you have that you could share with someone?
