Clever, inspirational, and fine art. September 3, 2010
Chrissy (Californai)
I haven't read a children's book in years, but when I picked this one up, it proved to be instant satisfaction and inspiration. I love the illustrations, from the classic arts and crafts architecture to the lovely little bats. The journey through this book is very creative. It set a rhythm and rhyme in my head and in the morning I woke up with a start of a poem of my own. In one week I managed to polish up two poems after a lifetime of sequestered words. I encourage every parent and child to read, read, read. And hopefully it will inspire like it did for me.
Bravo to Brian!
Wonderful book! February 4, 2010

Beautiful, detailed illustrations accompany rhyming text in this adorable story of bats who excitedly visit the library to explore books, a computer, a photocopier, and an overhead projector at a classic old building. The bats are full of expression and the pages contain hidden references to popular children's stories, making this a book parents will want to take back to their room and study after kids have gone to sleep.
delightful story, bats are not just for Halloween January 30, 2010

This is a delightful story for beginner readers or for parents to read to their young children. The bats are not spooky, or scary. This is not a Halloween story. The bats show human characteristics, which can be forgiven as this adds to the charm of the book and helps children feel comfortable with the animals. Children should be taught that bats are wild animals. However,this book goes a long way to dispel much misinformation about bats, such as they are ugly, dirty, disease carrying vermin.
Many of my favorite childhood books are depicted in the wonderful illustrations. Here is another opportunity for parents to entice their children to read and to teach the importance of reading.

The illustrations are so charming in this book, that I would not have been surprised to see the Silver Caldecott medal stamped on the front. My kids and I adore this book. The verse is fun and easy to follow, but it is the incredible artistic talent of Brian Lies that shines in this book. My favorite pages have illustrations from other well-known stories, but all "batted up." Like Peter Rab-bat, etc. I whole-heartedly recommend it!
Loved it! October 21, 2009

It combinds a love of reading and a love of bats in one book. I love how it puts bats in a positive and normal light. I read it to my two year old who enjoys the ryme as well as the illistrations. As for being the parent I deffinetly don't mind reading it over and over again!
