    Colin Hann and Pedro Páramo are friends and partners in the LingoLibros adventure. LingoLibros is a young and developing company. Our aim is to produce quality bilingual books with an easy to follow parallel text, at an affordable price. We believe that they will be of particular benefit to parents with bilingual children who hope to develop their child's understanding of their native tongues. Our books are, so far, short stories with amusing illustrations suitable for reading aloud to young children in a single language or in a combination of two languages. Older children can enjoy reading these stories by themselves to learn and practice their second language. Students with a basic or intermediate knowledge of a foreign language will find these books very helpful in developing their vocabulary and understanding of the second language. We hope you benefit from and enjoy reading these bilingual tales.

      Introduction

      Can you imagine what it is like to live in a flowerpot and confuse one animal with another? Our chatty little plants Basil, Rosemary and the sisters think they know some stuff, but when it comes to animals they know nothing. One wild idea leads to another and gets them into big trouble. This story is for children and others wanting to read a dual language text in English and Italian with illustrations. Reading this fun bilingual story will help you learn Italian.

      Reading a bilingual book for just ten minutes each day is a very efficient use of your time for improving your language skills.

      This dual language book is for bilingual children and Italian language students with a basic - intermediate knowledge, who want to revise a dual language text in English and Italian. The book is in two sections. In the first part, for ease of understanding the two languages are displayed together mostly one or two sentences at a time. Showing the languages together helps compare words and common expressions easily. The second part, the Italian only version allows intermediate students to test their understanding. We hope you enjoy the stories.

      Life of Basil — La vita di Basilico

      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.

      La prima cosa che Basilico ricordava della sua vita era l’aria fredda. Una ragazzina aveva portato il suo vaso da basso, sul gradino della porta d’entrata.

      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.

      Accanto alla porta Basilico vide un grande vaso da fiori. Era di un color blu brillante e vi ci era dipinto un gatto arancione.

      Che paura mi fa questo animale!, pensò Basilico.

      This is your new home little basil plant, said the girl.

      She gave Basil some water. Then she took a wooden lollypop stick out of her pocket and loosened the soil.

      Questa è la tua nuova casa, piantina, gli disse la ragazzina.

      Gli versò sopra un po’ d’acqua. Poi prese dalla tasca il bastoncino di legno di un lecca-lecca e rimosse la terra.

      Help! thought Basil. What's happening?

      The soil below Basil was moving. Then something warm squashed his top leaves.

      Aiuto!, pensò Basilico. Cosa sta succedendo?.

      La terra gli si stava muovendo di sotto. Poi qualcosa di tiepido premette le sue foglie più alte.

      Help! Help! shouted Basil loudly.

      The little girl heard nothing. Suddenly Basil was lifted out of his pot and lowered, root first, into a new hole.

      Aiuto, aiuto!, urlò Basilico.

      Ma la ragazzina non udiva niente. D’improvviso Basilico si sentì estrarre dal suo vaso e introdurre, cominciando dalle radici, in una cavità nuova.

      She pushed new soil round Basil's roots and gave him some more water. Then she went inside and closed the front door behind her.

      La ragazzina schiacciò della terra nuova intorno alle sue radici e ci versò sopra ancora un po’ d’acqua. Poi entrò in casa e chiuse la porta dietro di sé.

      Basil was cold. He bent over feeling scared and alone.

      Hey! Seedling! shouted two voices. What's your name?

      Basil looked up and saw two plants with bright blue and yellow flowers.

      Basilico aveva freddo. Si curvò su se stesso, spaventato e solo.

      Ehi Piantina!, gridarono due vocine. Come ti chiami?.

      Basilico guardò in su e vide due piante con brillanti fiori
