Text and Images from La Abeja y La Flor Bilingual Spanish version
A las abejas les gustan las flores.
¡Mira! ¡Aquí viene una!
Bees like flowers.
Look! Here comes one!
Tiene un cuerpo peludo,
pero no la toques porque…
She has a fluffy body,
but don’t touch her because…
puede picar
si le das un susto.
she can sting
if you give her a fright.
Yo no las molesto. I don’t bother them.
Están trabajando. They are working.
Solo las miro… I just watch them…

Wonderful book. There needs to be more books like this for those of us who are learning a new language. An educational story with English subtitles make it a perfect learning experience.
Perfect amount of difficulty for kids starting to read in Spanish.
I really enjoyed this book being in BOTH English and Spanish. I also like the fact that this book is non-fiction. There are not too many non-fiction books out there for lower level readers, especially in Spanish. Thank you very much for this online free book.
