Bats in the library and reading! This book is sure to have kids laughing and wanting to read too. The book begins with bats enjoying the nice cool night until they spot that the library window has been left open by the librarian. The bats race in and zoom around the library having fun with the projector, the copier, and the water fountains. After some crazy fun they all gather around for story time where the bats imagine themselves being in the roles of the characters as one of the bats reads. They have so much fun that they do not want to leave!
This book would be perfect for young readers who find reading boring. I could see myself reading this book to my students at the beginning of the year before we really got into our reading program. It would also be a great book to read before learning about bats in a science lesson. Ifonline.org had a really detailed lesson plan that would be perfect for a classroom setting.
