For ease of understanding, the languages are displayed together mostly one or two sentences at a time and use everyday language of native speakers.

    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 Portuguese with illustrations. Reading this fun bilingual story will help you learn Portuguese.

      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 Portuguese language students with a basic - intermediate knowledge, who want to revise a dual language text in English and Portuguese. 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 Portuguese only version allows intermediate students to test their understanding. We hope you enjoy the stories.

      Life of Basil — A vida do Manjericão

      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.

      A primeira coisa que o Manjericão recordava da sua vida era o ar fresco. Uma menina pôs o vaso do Manjericão no degrau da porta principal.

      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.

      Ao lado da porta, ele viu um grande vaso de flores. Era azul brilhante e tinha pintada a imagem de um gato cor de laranja.

      Que animal assustador! pensou o Manjericão.

      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.

      Esta é a tua nova casa, plantinha de manjericão, disse a menina.

      Ela deu ao Manjericão alguma água. Depois, tirou do bolso um pauzinho de madeira de um chupa chupa e remexeu a terra.

      Help! thought Basil. What's happening?

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

      Socorro! pensou o Manjericão. O que está a acontecer?

      A terra por baixo do Manjericão estava a mexer-se. Foi então que uma coisa quente esmagou as suas folhas superiores.

      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.

      Socorro! Socorro! gritou o Manjericão muito alto.

      A menina não ouviu nada. De repente, o Manjericão foi levantado do seu vaso e pousado, primeiro a raiz, num novo buraco.

      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.

      Ela colocou terra nova à volta da raiz do Manjericão e deu-lhe um pouco mais de água. Depois, foi para dentro e fechou a porta principal atrás dela.

      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.

      O Manjericão tinha frio. Inclinou-se, sentindo-se assustado e sozinho.

      Ei! Plantinha! gritaram duas vozes. Como te chamas?

      O Manjericão olhou para cima e viu duas plantas com flores de cor azul brilhante e amarelo.

      Who are you? asked
