Well, since we talked about vampires earlier today, I figured it would be a good time for review of Janet's latest kids; book, since it's about bats! LOL
Synopsis: Baby Bat loves his cave home and never wants to leave it. While practicing flapping his wings one night, he falls, and Pluribus Packrat rescues him. They then explore the deepest, darkest corners of the cave where they meet amazing animals—animals that don’t need eyes to see or colors to hide from enemies. Baby Bat learns how important bats are to the cave habitat and how other cave-living critters rely on them for their food. Will Baby Bat finally venture out of the cave to help the other animals?
Review: This is an adorable book, as all Janet's are! Kiddo and I had fun talking about how Baby Bat was afraid to leave the cave, like she had been afraid about starting school 2 years ago. She loved finding out about all the different animals in a cave, and how they all depend on one another. She had quite alot of questions, so I was quite happy to have the last 4 pages of of info on cave habitats, rock formations, how bats hear, about bats and cave animals! It helped answer them all! The illustrations are adorable, as they always are with Janet's books. With Earth Day coming up, this would be an excellent book to read to your kids, or for their class! I know boys will definitely find it appealing, but so will inquisitive girls! We highly recommend it!
