Drew Looks for Fruit

 

Drew was a blue bird. 

 

He wanted to share a bite of fruit with his pal, Pete. The problem was, he didn't have any fruit.

 

So Drew flew all over town to look. He flew into the forest, past the pond, and onto the statue in the park.

 

In the park, Drew found a tree full of fruit. He took some in his beak and flew back home.

 

Pete was happy to see Drew with fresh fruit. They chewed the fruit happily and enjoyed the sunny day.

Explain It

Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:


  1. What happened in the story?

  2. Where did Drew go looking for fruit? Where did he find it?
