This is a wonderful resource for children in pre-k and kindergarten. The vocabulary is easy enough for them to understand, introduces new words. The photographs show what bats look like.

My favorite illustration is on page 5. It has a bat flying with the blue sky. I ask, "What is this bats wing span?" I liked the bat how it is flying. I like his face. I really like all the pictures in this book.

The main text is simple, with additional facts on the outside of the page layout. The photographs are stunning. Harder words are defined.
