Spanish language edition! A Mexican jumping bean isn't a bean at all. It's a fascinating home and food source for a special kind of caterpillar!

A fun and engaging nonfiction picture book for kids ages 3-7 featuring the life cycle of a yerba de la flecha seedpod and clever counting concept.

The Mexican jumping bean has intrigued and fascinated kids for generations.

However, the Mexican jumping bean isn't a bean at all. It's actually a seedpod from a shrub called yerba de la flecha, into which a caterpillar burrows, living inside the pod until it builds a cocoon and breaks out as a moth.

Perfect for preschoolers and pre-readers, this charming and informative read-aloud introduces curious kids to one unique seedpod that is NOT a bean!
