Praise

This story follows the metamorphosis of a desert caterpillar within its seedpod home. It eats theinside and drinks the moisture produced by the plant until the hardened pod drops to the ground.The caterpillar is able to move the pod in a way that makes it seem to be jumping, hence itsreputation as a jumping bean. The jumping bean travels through the desert startling the animalsit encounters. First, it meets rattlesnakes, making “¡clic, clac!” noises like the snakes’ tails. Then,it startles some coyotes and ravens with its movements and sounds. Lastly, a group of childrengather several of the beans, delighted by their unusual behavior. Eventually, the caterpillarbegins to change within its pod and emerges as a full-grown moth. This Spanish translation ofNot a Bean (2019) is at a higher level than many picture books, making it a great choice forprimary-grade readers. The text is well supported by González’s illustrations, which detail theprocess of the caterpillar’s transformation well, and an informative author’s note.
