Su questo libro

Recensione:

With its appealing illustrations in an eye-catching arrangement and clearly written text, Pringle's 'Bats!' is equal to the best introductions on the subject for this age level. --School Library Journal

Youngsters will immediately be hooked by the opening text ('If you were a bat, you could stay up all night. You could hang by your thumbs, or hang upside down by your toenails') and a riveting illustration of a hanging bat, wings outspread, mouth open, showing tiny teeth. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Carefully crafted to overcome misconceptions and fears concerning bats, the text also provides basic information about the variety and habits of the flying mammals as well as their importance in the ecosystem. . . . One of the best of the many bat books. --Booklist
