📖 Sample Text

Way out back, by the "happy hearts" tree…

a buzzing little lovebug was as "buzzy" as can be!

He buzzed over a mailbox… (Zzzz!)

and he buzzed beside a card. (Zzzz!)

He buzzed over some flowers…

that had sprung up in the yard! (Zzzz!)

He buzzed beneath a lollipop… (Zzzz!)

and past a yummy cake! (Zzzz!)

He buzzed next to a paper heart…

and felt the whole thing shake! (Zzzz!)

👉 As you read, students move the lovebug to the correct position on each page and attach a matching piece.
