This adorable book integrates counting in Spanish and some vocabulary into a fascinating presentation of what a Mexican Jumping Beans. I think kids will enjoy learning about this "bean" that's really a home for a bug, whether they've seen one before or not -- I know I did!

I used to play with these when I was younger they were just so fun. Now I feel bad because I'm thinking the moth probably didn't survive long when it hatched (in Northern Ohio instead of Mexico). The writing has a counting theme in mixed English and Spanish. A few long Spanish words for animals and plants I didn't know, but fortunately there's a glossary in the back.

I was given a jumping bean in my first entomology course in college. It was really fun to watch it jump around. Mine never turned into a moth, but that would have been cool to have seen. This book did a good job of casually mixing in Spanish numbers, plants, animals, and other words.

Interesting and informative book about jumping beans. Good as a read aloud.

A book about a moth that takes a long time to get where it’s going! But the counting and language journey is plenty fun. Each page counts up until we get to 10, and there are many Spanish words nicely incorporated into the text. Reading with the four-year-old we had a good time counting in English and Spanish on each page, as well as following the journey of not-a-bean.
