Imposter Barnaby's Hum-Along Adventure Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Barnaby was a fluffy brown bear. All the other bears had big, loud roars. Can you try a big roar? ROAR! But when Barnaby tried, out came a soft, sweet hum. Hmmmm-hmmmm.

"That's not a bear sound," mumbled Barnaby, hiding behind a berry bush. He felt like a pretend bear.

One sunny afternoon, the bees in the honey tree were very grumpy. Bzzzz-BZZZZ! They wouldn't let any bears near. The big bears roared, but it only made the bees grumpier.

Barnaby, feeling small, tiptoed near the tree and started to hum his soft, sweet tune. Hmmmm-hmmmm.

Twist: The grumpy bees stopped buzzing. They listened to the lovely hum. They felt calm and happy! They buzzed gently and moved aside, letting Barnaby scoop up some yummy, sticky honey for everyone.

All the bears cheered! "Your hum is a honey-hum, Barnaby! It's the best!" Barnaby felt a happy warmth inside. He wasn't a pretend bear; he was a humming bear, and that was wonderful.

(Interactive Question): What makes your voice special?

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For best results, print this page on medium-weight cardstock. This will prevent markers from bleeding through and provide a sturdy surface for crayon coloring. Use your printer's 'black and white' or 'grayscale' setting for clear, crisp lines, which will make the 'imposter' to hero story really stand out.
