    About this ebook

    Basil finds himself in a strange new pot and meets our other chatty little plants. They think they know some stuff, but when it comes to animals, they know nothing. One wild assumption followed by another gets them into big trouble. Next time they may not be so lucky!

    This illustrated free bilingual book is for bilingual children and Greek language students with a basic or intermediate knowledge who want to study a dual language text in English and Greek. For ease of understanding, the languages are displayed together mostly one or two sentences at a time. The aim was to make translation as direct as possible but always using everyday language of native speakers. Reading this entertaining dual language book will help you develop your knowledge of the Greek language. We hope you enjoy the story.
    Excerpt from the book :
    The first thing in his life that Basil remembered was cold air. A little girl put Basil's pot down on the front door step.
    Το πρώτο πράγμα στη ζωή του, που θυμόταν ο Βασιλικός ήταν ο κρύος αέρας. Ένα μικρό κορίτσι ακούμπησε τη γλάστρα του Βασιλικού στο σκαλοπάτι της εισόδου.

    Next to the front door he saw a big flowerpot. It was bright blue and on it was painted a picture of an orange cat.
    "What a scary animal!" thought Basil.
    Δίπλα στην είσοδο είδε μία μεγάλη γλάστρα. Είχε φωτεινό μπλε χρώμα και πάνω της ήταν ζωγραφισμένη μια εικόνα από μία πορτοκαλί γάτα.
    "Τι τρομακτικό ζώο!" σκέφτηκε ο Βασιλικός.
