A Buzzby StorybookWhen the Ocean Walks Away

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

The first pages

Malik and his grandpa visited the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. In the morning, the ocean came high up the tall red rocks.

After lunch they came back, and the water was gone! Now people were walking on the muddy ocean floor, between rocks shaped like giant flowerpots.

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

Talk time questions

  • What pulls on the ocean to make tides?
  • How many high tides do most beaches get each day?
  • What would you look for on the ocean floor at low tide?
