A Buzzby StorybookWeeds Out at Plot Nine

Ages 5 to 8 Kindergarten to 3rd Grade 10 pages Read aloud

The first pages

In the middle of the city of Minneapolis there was a community garden. Each family had their own little square of soil. Diego's family had plot number nine.

Next door was plot ten, which belonged to Mr. Abernathy. He used a cane, and bending down was hard for him. His beans were hiding under tall, scratchy weeds.

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

Talk time questions

  • Why did Mr. Abernathy need help with his garden?
  • Why did Diego ask Mr. Abernathy before helping?
  • How do you think Mr. Abernathy felt at the end?
