Bats at the Library

The colony of adorable bats is back, and this time they fly into a window of their local library, which was left open after the building had been closed for the night. From an amazing adventure through a pop-up book to photocopying themselves, and making shadow puppets out of themselves with the overhead projector, the library comes alive one night as never before! They pass the night in literary bliss, and are reluctant to leave as the sun begins to rise. Be sure to join them on their next scholarly frolic!

Bats at the Ballgame

The bat colony flies to the grounds of a carnival and make their own carnival fun one night under a striped tent. While the townspeople are asleep in their beds, they meet another colony who also want to use the tent. Both teams work together to make a baseball field for themselves, then play a very close game, full of suspense and friendly rivalry.

Got to get this book for my 4 year old. It reminded me of what he says when he sees a flock of black birds on the side of the road when we drive through town. He says, "Look Momma! The birds are having a birthday party". Thanks for introducing me to this book!

Hi Kitty,

How cool that you have a bat tattoo on your hip! I've been fantasizing about having a sea otter tattooed somewhere on my body, but haven't made up my mind where....perhaps my back... :0)
