This story and activity book has been described by Dr. Merlin Tuttle of Bat Conservation International as one of the best books for children about bats. The text with black and white illustrations abounds with information about different bat species as well as the physical characteristics, habitats, flight patterns and behavior of these animals. Intriguing suggested activities -- building a backyard bat box, a pop-up bat cave and a "Wheel-o-Meal" that teaches the various diets of different species of bats -- serve to dispel common misconceptions about these mammals.
