Not just for bat lovers
Recieved this as a baby shower gift because we like bats and already I love to read this as our bed time book. Gorgeous illustrations, nice flowing story and perfect for an evening reading. Though I would have loved to have this on a board book; I don't let the baby play with the book.

Stupendous!
This is a stupendous book! Wonderful prose and gorgeous illustrations appeal to both children and adults, and hopefully will encourage bat tolerance, if not interest.

Bats at the Beach
The story is cute and clever. The art is great. I can't wait to share it with my grandkids!!! I heard a review on NPR and thought that I must have this book. I'll probably keep it at my house so they'll have something to read when they come.

great pictures, text not quite so good 
First, let me say that my children love looking at the pictures in this book. The pages are wide and full of bats doing all kinds of fun things. I give it four stars based on the illustrations. The text is a bit lacking. Some thought was obviously put into it: the author fits in fun things like "bug-mallows" and "pickled slugs". However, the text is rhyming verse and Lies doesn't use consistent meter. I found it a bit clunky to read and felt like the words drew attention to themselves instead of working together as a whole. It's still worth getting, especially if you know a little kid like mine who loves bats and bugs. The pictures are excellent and kids won't notice anything amiss in the text.
