A lively introduction to bats

Elise Gravel’s illustrated nonfiction guide brings together bat facts, including diet, habitats, species, echolocation, hibernation, and conservation. Its mix of conversational text and silly illustrations gives beginning readers several ways into the subject, while the range of topics moves from how bats navigate to why sleeping bats should not be disturbed. The book presents bats as a diverse group of animals and introduces their distinctive place among mammals.

Book overview

Hilarious illustrated non-fiction about bats perfect for beginning readers. Conversational text and silly illustrations will have you up all night reading about the only flying mammal on Earth!

Fast bat facts:
  • Distinctive trait: The only flying mammal
  • Diet: Insects, fruit and even animal blood
  • Special talent: Sleeping upside down

    • The Bat covers habitat (bats live everywhere except Antarctica!), species (there are over 1,200 kinds of bats), echolocation, hibernation (bats hibernate just like bears!), conservation (don't disturb a sleeping bat!) and much more. Although silly and off-the-wall, The Bat contains factual information that will both amuse and teach at the same time.
