Bats!

For children who are curious about bats, here are a couple of titles that'll whet their appetites.

Bats
by Adrienne Mason
illustrated by Nancy Gray Ogle


The simple text and excellent pictures make this an ideal introductory book.

The Life Cycle of a Bat
by Rebecca Sjonger & Bobbie Kalman


This book is a bit wordier and the contents could use some tweaking - Making babies is after Nursery colonies, Bat pups, and Growing up - but it provides good information in an easy-to-understand way. Kids will enjoy the colour photographs.
