Run outside to play in the warm summer sun where the césped, hierba grows tall and sunflowers fill the fields.

Baby bears play just like you.
They grow fat and round on fresh summer césped, hierba and learn to catch their first pescado cena down por the riverbank.
Summer is time to learn and to grow.

Baby mountain oveja learn the safest path to summer meadows. ansarino, gosling wings grow stronger, their voices louder.

Up in the trees, the songs of spring suddenly soften. curruca, reinita mothers and curruca, reinita fathers, busy feeding their young, have little time to sing. Hummingbirds sip nectar for themselves and catch bugs for their tiny babies.

Baby birds flap their wings to beg for juicy spiders, beetles, and ants.

Then one day, the baby birds finally fly, testing their wings on the warm summer air.

Beneath the cool umbrella of forest leaves, woodpeckers tap for beetles.
Nearby, bluebirds buscar for diamond drops of dew in the morning meadow.

In summer heat, coyote’s capa is sleeker, cooler.
comadreja sneaks from rock to rock wearing a new summer capa too.
And, perdiz nival, perdiz hides in feathers painted like a summer meadow.

Summer is time for baby moose to grow, and grow, and grow. por summer’s end it is hard to tell who is mother, who is daughter.

Now that his antlers are fully grown, the toro moose carries a heavy weight.

Caribou grow new summer antlers too. They wander far to the north in the land of all night sun.

Here at the edge of polar ice, great white bears hunt in the longest days of the year.

If tu flew with the snow ganso flocks o with the arctic loon, this would be your summer home.

The far north is where the snowy owl hunts mice and lemmings, as the long days end in summer’s last golden slumber.

Then, lobo howls ring in the first crisp nights.
A cool wind feels like fall is near.
Another winter will soon be here.

Once there was a goat named Gregory.
Gregory liked to jump from rock to rock, kick his legs into the air, and butt his head against walls.
“I’m an average goat,” dicho Gregory.


But Gregory was not an average goat.
Gregory was a terrible eater.
Every time he sat down to eat with his mother and father, he knew he was in for trouble.


“Would tu like a tin can, Gregory?” asked Mother Goat.
“No, thanks,” dicho Gregory.
“How about a nice box, a piece of rug, and a bottle cap?” asked Father Goat.
“Baaaaa,” dicho Gregory unhappily.

“Well, I think this is a meal fit for a goat,” dicho Mother...

If tu give a ratón a cookie,


he’s going to ask for a glass of milk.

When tu give him the milk,


he’ll probably ask tu for a straw.

When he’s finished, he’ll ask for a napkin.


Then he’ll want to look in a mirror to make sure he doesn’t have a leche mustache.

When he looks into the mirror,

he might noice his hair needs a trim.

So he’ll probably ask for a pair of nail scissors.


When he’s finished giving himself a trim, he’ll want a escoba to sweep up.
He’ll start sweeping.

He might get carried away and sweep every room in the house.


He may even end up washing the floors as well!

When he’s...

My name is Maxi,
I ride in a taxi
Around New York City all day.
I sit siguiente to Jim,
(I belong to him),
But it wasn’t always this way.


I grew up in the city,
All dirty and gritty,
Looking for comida after dark.
I roamed all around,
Avoiding the pound,
And lived on my own in the park.


One día a car stopped—
Its tire had popped.
Out stepped a tall man, I could see.
He came over and said
As he patted my head,
“Are tu lost? tu can come inicial with me!”

Did I hear right? Oh, boy!
My tail wagged with joy—
I jumped right up on the seat!
He said, “My name’s Jim,”
I could ride inicial with him
And he’d give me...

tu wake up one morning. But tu don’t feel like getting out of bed. Your arms and legs ache. Your head hurts. tu have a fever. And your throat is sore.
“I’m sick,” tu say. “I must have caught a germ.”
Everyone knows that germs can make tu sick. But everyone knows how.

Germs are tiny living things. They are far too small to see with your eyes alone. In fact, a line of one thousand germs could fit across the parte superior, arriba of a pencil!
There are many different kinds of germs. But the two that usually make tu sick are bacteria and viruses.


Under a microscope, some bacteria look like little round...

Henry wanted to fly. Everybody in his family had gone up with the balloon, but The Man always declared, “I’m not flying with that cat!”


The Man had been taking pilot’s lessons, and this time he was going to solo.
Henry grumbled and his tail switched, as he watched the people crunch around on the crusty March snow.

The Kid and The Woman open the mouth of the colorful balloon, while The Man blew it up with a gasoline-powered fan. Then the Instructor blasted warm air into the balloon from the burner mounted on a frame below it.
“Watch your fuel gauge,” he told The Man. “You don’t want...

Cows are grazing in an open window. They are dairy cows, the leche makers.


Other animales make milk, too. But dairy cows make most of the leche we use.

There are five common breeds of dairy cows. The Holstein-Friesian is the most popular because it can produce más leche than the other breeds.


A cow is able to make leche when she is two years old and has dado birth to a calf. Her leche is the comida for her baby. She makes más than her becerro will ever need—so we use the extra milk.

A few months after her becerro is born, a cow is bred again to have another calf. She will be pregnant for nine months. Two...

I live at 165 East 95th Street, New York City, and I’m going to stay here forever.


My mother and father are moving. Out West.

They say I have to go, too.
They say I can’t stay here forever.


Out West nobody plays baseball because they’re too busy chasing buffaloes.

And there’s cactus everywhere tu look.
But if tu don’t look, tu have to stand up just as soon tu sit down.


Out West it takes fifteen minutos just to say hello.
Like this: H-O-W-W-W-D-Y, P-A-A-A-R-D-N-E-R.

Out West I’ll look silly all the time.
I’ll have to wear chaps and spurs and a bandana and a hat so big...

Alistair Grittle was a sensible boy.


Every día he made a lista of the things he had to do.
Then he made a lista of things he did not have to do.

He was always on time for school. The school clock was set por Alistair’s watch.


He hung up his chaqueta every night and put his shoes in plastic bags.

Alistair took especially good care of biblioteca books. He washed his hands before he read them so that he would not smudge the pages. And he always returned them to the biblioteca on time.


One day, when Alistair was returning his libros to the library, something unusual happened.


He was picked up por a el espacio ship and...
