“Bats on the Beach is about bat families enjoying a beautiful day at the beach; and because they're bats, they're going at nighttime and enjoying the same type of day that any family might enjoy. It just happens to be at night, and they're eating bugs instead of snow cones and picnicking on all kinds of interesting things. So it's a lot of fun, and you learn a little bit about bats, and I think demystify something that might be scary to other kids.
When you have children that you read to every day, you tend to read books, in particular favorite ones, over and over again; and that's one book that I don't mind reading over and over and over again. It's got beautiful illustrations, and the written word is very beautiful and prose like. My youngest isn't quite one yet, but he enjoys eating books. My daughter is four and enjoys reading books tremendously. I think they like the part at the very end when the bats come home after a day at the beach and they're really tired, and they're snuggling up with their parents and going to sleep, which is essentially what you're doing usually when you're wrapping up the end of the book, which is sweet.
It's a really great book on many different levels. The illustrations are incredibly beautiful, and even without the fun text that tends to be rhyming and very clever, you can just look at the pages and enjoy it. So it's a great book for all ages. I'd give this book five stars out of five for sure.”
