A Buzzby StorybookThe Pet Rock Who Would Not Sit

Ages 3 to 8 Preschool to 3rd Grade 10 pages Read aloud

The first pages

Zara really wanted a puppy. Her mom said maybe one day. So Zara found a smooth gray rock in the garden and named it Pebbles.

She painted two eyes and a big smile on Pebbles. Then she made him a collar from a bit of red ribbon. "Good boy," she said.

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

Talk time questions

  • What tricks did Zara ask Pebbles to do?
  • Where did Pebbles end up when he rolled?
  • If you had a pet rock, what would you name it?
