Charlesbridge has two awesome picture books coming out tomorrow (November 5, 2019) that celebrate moths. Today let’s take a sneak peak at Not a Bean<\/em> by Claudia Guadalupe Mart\u00ednez and illustrated by Laura Gonzalez.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What does a book called Not a Bean<\/em> have to do with moths? It might be clearer when you find out the bean in question is a Mexican jumping bean. Still not clear? The Mexican jumping bean moves around because there is a tiny larva (caterpillar) inside that eventually emerges as a moth.<\/p>\n

Along with gently guiding readers through the life cycle of the moth, Mart\u00ednez introduces young readers to a smattering a Spanish words including the numbers from one to ten. There is a glossary of Spanish words in the back matter, as well as an author’s note with more details about the caterpillar’s biology.<\/p>\n

Laura Gonzalez’s digital illustrations are lush and inviting, with exactly the right amount of playfulness.<\/p>\n

Because Not a Bean<\/em> is multifaceted, it could be used either for a lesson on Spanish language and Mexican culture, or for a science unit on insects (or both!) Plus, who isn’t intrigued by a “bean” that jumps?<\/strong> Investigate a copy today!<\/p>\n
