Bat Loves the Night: Read and Wonder

What a great story with awesome illustrations! I like to read it and my 5yr old loves it!

A lovely mix of informational text and a fictional story of a bat. The author uses two different fonts to show the two parts of the book. The illustrations enhance the storytelling. A must have book for lovers of bats.

Very interesting and lots of fun facts to learn. I like that the book is written in a fun and exciting way and with beautiful pictures. Very enjoyable and not boring like some books I have found. Nieces and nephews and I have really had fun with this.

A beautiful presentation of factual information. With lyrical language and evocative pictures, this was a great hit when read to a 5 year old...even though it would obviously appeal to older children as well.

Very educational and nice artwork. Could combine with a unit on nocturnal animals, mammals, Halloween, day/night, sound, etc. I might pair it with a bat craft or even making a diorama of a bat and its needs with some glow in the dark touches of course... or even a short video clip showing a bat catching a moth ;-) I also definitely show kids what fox bats look like - they are so cute and cuddly. Overall, this book is appropriate for kindergarten and higher since there are so many words on a page and its paperback. I wish this book was available in a hardback for longevity.

My five-year-old daughter said this book was the absolute best, but she doesn’t want us to get a vampire bat!

This book absolutely lovely. The writing is very poetic, the pictures are beautiful and I love the educational text. I actually enjoy reading this to my daughter over and over and she loves it too- especially at bedtime.

Used this with my first graders during a science unit on bats and they loved it. I ordered the book with cd --- glad I did. Great story and illustrations!

Great mix of fiction and non-fiction. The kids love it in my grade 3 class

My child loves this book. It tells the tale of how a bat lives with informative sub-texts about bats; explaining echolocation, hunting, roosts and how the batlings develop. This has become a classic book in our collection. I came across it in the school where I work and the children who are rising 8s enjoy sharing it. Any child interested in bats will like the story style and appreciate learning facts about pipistrelles. The illustrations are lovely too.

Un libro con imàgenes dibujadas preciosas y precisas de una noche en la vida de una murciélago. Es en inglés.

Lovely book, beautiful illustrations 'aawwww she's sooo cuuuute!' and just enough facts vs story to make a really nice bedtime book for a bat-mad four year old girl.

Beautifully written and poetically illustrated. Lovely...
