Gr 1-4‘An easy-to-read, basic introduction to the behavior and characteristics of bats. Rather than concentrating on a single species as Barbara Bash does in Shadows of Night (Sierra Club, 1993), Earle provides a more general overview of these fascinating flying mammals. She stresses the ecological role they play in the reduction of harmful insects and tries to dispel negative myths about them. The attractive acrylic and colored-pencil illustrations clearly reinforce the material presented in the text. In addition, information is provided on how people can help these creatures, which species are endangered, and building bat houses to attract them.‘Kathy Piehl, Mankato State University, MN

This is a very readable children's book about bats. It helps to dispel some of those nasty myths about our only flying mammal that seem to persist. I use this book as part of my unit on bats that I teach in my second grade classroom. A twin text that I also use is Stellaluna. Pairing fiction and nonfiction works very well with young children. Zipping... is very informative and a very good resource for exposing children to needed symbiosis of man and nature. I will be building a bat house with ny students as a follow up. Think about this book the next time you find yourself swatting at a pesky mosquito.
