A Buzzby StorybookThe Seed That Slept

Ages 3 to 10 Preschool to 5th Grade 10 pages Read aloud

The first pages

Maya pushed a bean seed into a pot of soil. "Grow," she told it. The seed did nothing. Seeds are not great listeners.

"It is sleeping," said Grandma. "A seed is a tiny packed lunch with a baby plant inside. It needs three things to wake up."

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

Talk time questions

  • What three things does a seed need to wake up?
  • Which part grew first, the root or the leaves?
  • Why do the leaves turn toward the window?
