Motivation Education worked in collaboration with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) and Senacyt of Panama to produce a series of Bilingual Children's Science Story Books. The books are based on the actual work of the Scientists at STRI. There are two versions available, a shorter version for faster download and easier printing and a longer version that has a READ, LEARN and DO component. Both books have their stories in both English and Spanish and both have been illustrated by the amazing Michelle Seu! Please go to the storefront to check out our cluster with Motivator Map for Educators, recorded versions and the free book ready for download. Our Benny the Bat sampler is below. Enjoy!
