Love it for its gorgeous illustrations, encouraging a love of literature, and its use of some fun new big words for little kids to learn.

About Bats at the Library
Parents need to know that this batty adventure is full of silliness as well as being a terrific reference to classic children's literature. In the illustrations, kids will enjoy finding characters from books they may have already read.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about bats, why they fly at night, have big ears, and wings whose bones almost look like human hands. Then they might want to find a book that tells more about real bats. Parents and kids will also enjoy talking about the library. How is it like your library? What would you do if you could sneak into the library at night? Do you recognize any of the books that the bats are reading? Are any of these your favorites?

I highly recommend this book! My 3 and half year old was fascinating by the bats and their library antics. There is a great message about the joys of reading. Its fun and well written, with lots of interesting word choices to explain to your child.
