Spring is here! Llegó la primavera. Are you looking for a list of books in Spanish to add to your classroom library or collection about Spring? I have compiled a list of 18 books in Spanish that would be a great addition for primary (Pre-K through second grade) bilingual, immersion or Spanish classrooms or even to read at home with your bilingual kids. They are full of fun animals, babies, life cycles and insects.

The books on this list are a variety of levels. Some are simple basic board books that emergent readers could read or that could be used as a read aloud to introduce or extend vocabulary in Spanish. Both fiction and nonfiction are included.
