The first pages

Deep in a forest in Oregon, the sun was setting behind the tall fir trees. The day animals were getting ready to sleep.

A chipmunk scurried into its burrow. A family of deer lay down in the soft ferns. The squirrels curled up in their leafy nests.

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