The Very Hungry Caterpillar / La oruga muy hambrienta

Why It's On Our Shelf

If you are raising a bilingual child, this isn't just a classic; it's a curriculum disguised as a masterpiece. What makes the bilingual edition so effective is the parallel structure; the Spanish translation maintains the rhythmic simplicity of the English original. This was one of the first books that I introduced my wife, and my baby girl, to because I still remember the book from my own childhood. The story is so visually driven that a child (or an adult!) can connects the two languages to the same vibrant imagery effortlessly. It's a foundational piece for building a bilingual library, and will be remembered for years to come.
