A Batty Adventure for Kids and Adults to Enjoy November 15, 2008

I'm taking a little break from a great serious read, The Hour I First Believed: A Novel -- Very good, but 750+ pages.
I found this wonderful children's book at the library: Bats at the Library, written & illustrated by Brian Lees. The book was released in September-2008. Written in rhythm and rhyme style. This batty adventure is full of silliness, but also references some classic children's literature. In the illustrations, children may recognize some characters from books they may have already read. The illustrations are terrific too. Recommended for children 4-8, as well as for young at heart adults--like me.

What a great book! The illustrations are fantastic. My 3-1/2 year old Grandaughter sees more in the illustrations every time we read it together. It is so cute, I'm donating a copy of the book to our local library. The Martha Stewart Show did a piece yesterday on the book. The author had a bat cut-out done especially for the show. It can be downloaded from Martha's site. The kids can draw a picture on the "book" and the bat folded so that the bat is holding the book. Very cute!

Bats at the Library is a wonderful book. My grandchildren loved it. Hope there are more "Bats" books to come.
Bats love this library October 7, 2008

And librarians and the kids they share it with will love this book. The detailed pictures beg for young readers to take a closer look. Baby bats wear swimmies on their arms. A water fountain is turned into a great splashing pool. Characters from books kids know and love make frequent appearances, and the library setting reminds us of the venerable institutions we all remember, or at least wish we'd grown up with. This librarian says the book is not to be missed and I'm off to order my copy now.
