And librarians and the kids they share it with will love this book. The detailed pictures beg for young readers to take a closer look. Baby bats wear swimmies on their arms. A water fountain is turned into a great splashing pool. Characters from books kids know and love make frequent appearances, and the library setting reminds us of the venerable institutions we all remember, or at least wish we'd grown up with. This librarian says the book is not to be missed and I'm off to order my copy now.
Get lost in another wonderful adventure of our bat friends written and illustrated by Brian Lies. The story is fun and the illustrations are truly a wonder. A magical tribute to classic children's literature from a "bat's perspective" awaits for you inside to enjoy. Our family really enjoyed it. My 5 and 7 year old boys get very excited to read these bat books, especially at bedtime. We can't wait to see what these bats do next!
Bats at the Library is a wonderful book. My grandchildren loved it. Hope there are more "Bats" books to come.
Brian Lies is an amazing children's author and illustrator!!!! The details in his pantings are incredible. If you are able to go and listen to one of his readings and book signings it is more than worth your while. He is wonderful with children and really takes his time to describe the development of his stories and pictures to parents/teachers/adults. I can not say enough about this author. I am a children's Speech-Language Pathologist and a parent and he is by far one of my favorite children's author's. I look forward to reading many more of his stories with my son and clients as well! Thank you Brian for sharing your talents and stories with others!!!!!
This is one of my favorite gifts for new babies (babies get more onesies than they can wear before they grow out of them), especially when the parents are squeamish about bats. The illustrations are gorgeous, and there are visual jokes for adults reading to their kids. Also, we need more bat advocates, and children are a good place to start. Bats eat so many insects that they save $3.7 billion annually in pesticide costs in the U.S. alone (and those unsprayed pesticides are not getting into your children's food and water). Their very survival is in doubt because of White Nose Syndrome. Brian Lies' bat series is not only stellar for the quality of its text and art, but helps kids and their parents care about these important, much maligned creatures.
This book is adorable. Its rhyming has a nice flow and does not feel awkward to say aloud. The illustrations are beautiful and imaginative. I plan on buying more books from this series.I would recommend it to any parent looking for a new series to read to their little one.This item also arrived on time, was undamaged, and packaged well.
I bought this after being REQUIRED (by my 5 year old granddaughter) to read Bats at the Beach EVERY time I read to her! I still LOVE the Beach one best, but this and the Ball Game are great, too! The rhyming language is beautifully fluent and the illustrations wonderful. The bats are realistic enough to not look cartoon like, but not at all scary, either. There are clever little changes (like "Cricket Jacks" in place of "Cracker Jacks" in the Ball Game one) that appeal to both children and adults. I highly recommend these books for fun, enjoyable repeated reading, and the possibility of lots of reality/fantasy discussion if that appeals. (I am a speech/language pathologist). ENJOY!
My 6yo daughter & I made a pact, should we ever find ourselves working at a library... We had best leave a window ajar, for the potential of the wild literary adventure we may be providing a beautiful group of bats. STUNNING illustrations! One bat face that looks like a fox? Who knew there were such a thing. Amazing all around. Daughter begs for this book night after night.
