Bats are one of the more misunderstood creatures on earth. In this straightforward and wonderful nonfiction picture book, Gail Gibbons gives readers a clear overview of these animals--from their physical make-up, to their diets, and even to the ways in which humans can help protect them. By the end of this book, you will be a fan of these flying mammals!

We are big fans of Gail Gibbons at our house, and this book did nothing but strengthen our support of this wonderful nonfiction author. The text and illustrations work well together to help young readers learn about bats in a way that is easy to understand and also entertaining.  This is the kind of nonfiction picture book that will keep young readers looking for more informational texts and learning more about the natural world.
