Bin has a big family.

This is everyone.

1. Grandma

2. Grandpa

3. Bin (and Cat)

4. Aunt

5. Uncle

6. Baby

7. Parents

There are too many people!

Bin has nowhere to play.

At last, his family takes

their afternoon nap.

Cat gets the yarn.

Now Bin and Cat can play.

It is so much fun!

CRASH!

Uh-oh.

The baby cries.

Mom scolds Bin.

Dad scolds Bin.

Even Grandpa scolds Bin.

Bin talks back.

I have no place to play!

This house is too small!

I have too big a family!

Bin cries loudly.

Bin cries softly.

Bin falls asleep.

Bin wakes up.

The house seems strange.

There’s no baby,

no Mom,

no Grandma.

There is no Grandpa.

No Dad.

No Uncle or Aunt.

Bin is home alone.

This is great!

Suddenly it is dark.

What happened?

The sky flashes. The ground rumbles.

Where is everyone?

Bin hears rain.

Then he hears Mom.

And his grandparents. And the baby.

It keeps raining.

Then Dad is home! Uncle and Aunt are home too!

Everyone is wet.

Bin feels safe now.

Sometimes it is nice to have a big family.

And he can always ﻿ play outside.
