Creativity & Curiosity
Buenas noches, mariposa (Goodnight, Butterfly) Written & illustrated by Ross Burach
In this laugh-out-loud picture book, science topics are artfully woven together with the experience of a curious butterfly who has too many questions to go to sleep and doesn’t want to miss any exciting nighttime activities. While first-graders follow along with the butterfly’s dilemma and his long list of questions, they will learn about the difference between nocturnal and diurnal animals.
HUMOR
Imagination & Exploration ¡Es la hora de los esqueletos!/ It’s Skeleton Time! Adapted by Ana Galán & illustrated by Rodrigo Luján
This clever, playful story helps teach first-graders how to tell time in English and Spanish. Following an adaptation of a traditional Costa Rican song, a group of skeletons jump out of their tombs and engage in fun activities as the clock strikes each of the 12-hour marks. With illustrations and rhyming in both language adaptations, this bilingual book brings a fun twist to the graveyard and shows that any time of year can be skeleton time!
