Ursula Libelula (Bichitos curiosos series) (Spanish Edition)

PreS-Gr 2—Úrsula, a dragonfly, lives alone in a beautiful small house on a lily pad in the middle of the pond. She doesn't like being disturbed, but with the arrival of good weather, neighbors come to visit: a bumblebee, a beetle, and a love-struck and extremely vocal frog. When he finds a mate and starts to grow a prolific and equally loud family, Úrsula decides to move to another pond. However, she soon discovers that she misses the hubbub and her noisy friends. Children will enjoy seeing Úrsula with pink curlers in her hair and in pink slippers, the bumblebee stretched out, and the frog singing. The soft pastel illustrations with rounded edges reflect the humorous story. The book's artistic layout and large fonts make the story a good choice for most collections.—Diana Borrego Martinez, formerly at San José Public Library, CA
