Bats!

Time for Kids Science Scoops

In BATS!, TIME For Kids® sheds light on these fascinating fliers.

Science Content:
This book does an excellent job at teaching students about a bat's life cycle and habitat. This book would be great for all grade levels.

Good companion text to use with Bats All Folks article when talking about benefits of bats and how humans are a danger to them.
