About the author
Gail Gibbons
225 books162 followersFrom gailgibbons.com: I was born in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1944. Even as a little child, I was always busy putting books together. Sometimes I would bind them with yarn to hold the pages together. I've always loved drawing and painting. I was also a very curious child. My parents tell me that I was always asking lots and lots of questions.
Later, I went on to the University of Illinois, where I studied graphic design. Then I moved to New York City, where I got a job doing artwork for television shows. Eventually I was asked to do the artwork for a children's show. While doing that show, some of the children asked me if I had ever thought of doing children's books. My mind immediately recalled how much I enjoyed doing that type of thing when I was a child. So I put an idea for a book together and right away a publisher bought it. That book was called Willy and His Wheel Wagon. Since then, over 170 books that I have written and illustrated have been published. The type of books I write are non-fiction books. This is because I love researching so much. I get to ask lots of questions, just like when I was a kid. I also get to travel and meet lots of interesting people. While doing research for my book Nature's Green Umbrella: Tropical Rain Forests, I traveled to two islands where there are tropical rain forests, Saba and Dominica. I also had a great time writing and illustrating the book. I get a lot of pleasure from doing the type of work I do.

Very educational with detailed art.
October 21, 2019
The zoo came to my library and gave a presentation on bats a couple days ago and I had already checked this out to read in the fall so the timing was perfect. It was so cool how she thanked a curator at the New York zoo in the Bronx.
I didn't understand why she said that most people have never seen a bat. How can you not have seen a bat?! They're flying in the sky all the time!
It explained what nocturnal means, awake at night. They're mammals who are warm-blooded and have live babies. I was just reminded from the class that mammals also drink their mom's milk so I wish that was included.
They're the only mammals that fly.
I liked the point she made how there were stories about bats being evil and associated with witches, and that's why people think they're scary. But they're actually shy and gentle.
Bats can move each finger separately to change the shape of their wings. This allows them to change speed and direction quickly.
Some bats can fly as fast as 15 mph and as high as 10,000 ft.
Their homes are called roosts.
The smallest and the largest bat both live in Asia.
They use echolocation where they send out a quick beeping sound that's too high-pitched for us to hear. They hit an object and then bounce back to their ears as an echo. It tells them the size and shape and location.
"If it weren't for bats, there would be too many insects."
What an important point!
They help pollinate plants so we can have food like avocados, figs, and bananas. They help scatter seeds.
Most bats have good hearing, sight, and smell.
Bats have pups, with all the females gathering in a roost in the spring. Most have one at a time.
The class told us that bats give birth upside down. But in here it showed a pic of the mom holding on with her thumbs, right side up, and she wrote that they form a basket with their tail membrane and catch the baby when it comes out. Then she hangs upside down, holding it in her wings to nurse. The pup holds on with its teeth and claws.
They grow quickly. At 10 days old they're almost too heavy to carry. At 3 months they fly on their own. They're adults at about one year.
Bats face problems such as habitat destruction, pollution, and pesticide use on insects. In some places there aren't enough bats to eat insects and pollinate.
They're helped by bat boxes, caves being covered by grillwork. (I didn't understand how bats can enter but people can't. How do they fly through?) And there are nature preserves to protect them.
The book ended with "Bats play an important role in nature." She should have left it off there instead of saying "It's fun to learn about them." It was an odd statement, like saying that she has fun learning about them, or telling us it's fun? That's something people decide on their own!
Facts at the end:
Almost 50% of bat species in the US are endangered.
In China bats are a good-luck symbol.
They're not blind; they can see well.
All bats don't have rabies. They can't get rabies any more than any other animal.
Don't touch a bat on the ground because it could bite and could be sick.
There are so many species of bats that I know they couldn't cover them all, but I wish they hadn't just chosen a handful of bats and highlighted them.

I went to a library talk last week, where they had a couple zoo educators there to give a presentation on bats. I learned a lot of things about them that I didn’t know, and it blew some myths wide open. My sister had this checked out, so I thought it was a good time to read this.
Bats have been an important part of stories, with people thinking they were evil spirits, and others thinking they were the friends of ghosts and witches.
Contrary of what many people think, bats are actually shy and gentle.
Bats are mammals, meaning they’re warm-blooded and their babies are born alive. They are the only mammals that fly.
I was surprised to hear how long bats have been around, that the oldest fossil is around 50 million years old.
Bat fur can be black, white, red, brown or gray.
They can move each finger separately in order to change the shape of their wings, and it also changes their speed and direction quickly.
Some bats can fly 15 mph and up to 10,000 feet high.
When they hand, they hang upside down by their toe claws, which they also use to move around.
The places bats live are called roosts. Many bats live together in caves, attics, barns, or tall trees. In places that get cold during the winter, some bats migrate to warmer places. Others hibernate in their roosts until spring.
Before hibernation, bats eat a lot of food to live on during the winter, their heartbeats slow and their body temp drops.
Bats live on every continent except Antarctica. Most live in hot climates that contain insects, fruit, and flowers.
It’s amazing that there are around 1000 different kinds of bats. The smallest is Kitti’s hog-nosed bat, while the biggest is the Giant Flying Fox. Even though its wingspan is 5 feet, it only weighs around 2 lbs.
Most bats eat insects and find animals at night by echolocation. Bats send out a rapid beeping sound that’s too high-pitched for humans to hear. I would be interested to hear what that sounds like.
The sound waves hit the insect, bounces back to the bat’s ears and echoes. It lets the bat know the size and shape of an insect and where it’s at. If it weren’t for bats, there would be too many insects.
I didn’t realize before that bats help pollinate flowers. There are both fruit and nectar-eating bats. We have fruits like avocados, figs and bananas because of bats. They also help to scatter seeds.
A few species of bats are meat eaters that eat fish, frogs, mice and birds.
Vampire bats are found in Mexico, Central and South America and only eat blood. As I learned at the library talk, they only make a tiny cut with its teeth that the animal hardly feels, and laps up the blood with its tongue.
Dracula is one of the many untrue stories about bats, and he’s often seen with bats circling him.
It’s amazing how different and unique bats can look. Some are very strange.
Bats have a good sense of hearing, sight, and smell. So the saying “blind as a bat” isn’t true.
In the spring, female bats come together in roosts that turn into nurseries where they give birth to their pups. Most only have one at a time.
The book said that bats hang by their claws with their heads up and forms a basket with her tail membrane. At birth the pup lands in the basket. At the library talk, the zoo educators said that they’ve even seen a mother bat catch her baby after giving birth.
As soon as the pup is born, the mother hangs upside down again. The pup nurses while being cradled under the mom’s wing. Pups cling to their moms with their sharp teeth and claws.
Pups grow quickly. A 10-day-old pup is too heavy for its mom to carry. At three months, it flies on nightly hunting trips, and is considered an adult an one year old.
Threats to bats are habitat destruction, because people don’t like bats and deliberately destroy their homes. Pollution and pesticides intended for crop-damaging insects also threaten them.
In many places, there aren’t enough bats left to keep down the number of insect pests or to pollinate flowers.
Some people help bats by making bat houses, some people cover bat cave entrances with grillwork, so bats can come and go, but people can’t go in. There are also nature preserves that protect bats.
I liked the facts at the end. There are Mexican free-tailed bats living in Bracken Cave in San Antonio, Texas, which was mentioned at the library talk.
Some bats communicate with each other by using their sense of smell or by making sounds.
Almost ½ of the bats living in the U.S. are endangered, which isn’t very encouraging.
I also learned at the library talk, that despite popular belief, most bats have a good sense of sight. So the saying “blind as a bat” isn’t true.
At the Congress Avenue Bridge in Austin, Texas, you can see more than a million Mexican tree-tailed bats roosting. It’s become a tourist attraction.
Another myth is that all bats carry rabies. It’s not true either; they can get rabies, but no more than other animals. I learned at the talk that 99.something % of bats don’t have rabies.
Bats are a symbol of good luck in China, which is cool.
Never touch a bat that’s on the ground. It might be sick, and they might bite if frightened. I remember hearing this as a kid. There was a bat in the flower bed at our house and our parents wouldn’t let us get close to it.
Most bats live to be 10-14 years old.
There are around 40 species of bats in North America. The most common is the little brown bat.

A very detailed look at the many different types of bats, This book explores the make up and lifestyles of the only mammals that can fly. After reading this book the reader will perhaps have a whole different perspective on this misunderstood creature of the night.

Originally published in 1999, Gibbons' bat book is back, new and updated. Gibbons is a master of nonfiction and her clear and detailed text matches nicely with her beautiful and expressive illustrations. In this book readers learn the basics about bats--anatomy, diet, habitat, life cycle and so forth. They also learn a few specifics about particular types of bats. The author ends with concerns about bats, and ways in which readers can help them. This is a nice, very readable book that has enough information for reports, but is also a good read-aloud.

Bats is an informational book by Gail Gibbons, in which bats and their qualities are portrayed to children in a fun and interesting way. This book would be best for children in kindergarten and first grade, as it I a simple book. This book does not have any sort of awards. It starts by telling some of bats’ intricacies such as how they are nocturnal and then works into how they are perceived. The authors talks about how many bats are connotations for witches and spooky things often associated with Halloween. The author then proceeds to talk about the physical characteristics that make bats special and allow them to move in the way they do. The rest of the book entails specific features of the bat as well as the different kinds of bats that exist, as well as the reasons for their declining population.
This is a very interesting book that goes into detail about an unknown animal and many aspects about it. Kids are able to get an in depth look into how bats function and why they ac the way they do. This book may also relinquish many fears children have abut bats, as pp culture personifies bats and makes them into these scary and evil creatures, that the author mentions at the beginning of the book. The ending provides a sort of cultural and environmental awareness that allows kids to gain an understanding in what is affecting not just bats, but many animals in the environment. There are so many aspects of this book that can be beneficial for children and teach them many things about bats as well as many things that can also be related to other animals. One activity you can do with kids is have them write their own informational books about an animal they find to be pretty cool, and do proper research in order to find information. They could also write a journal entry in which they tell their own story about bats based on what they learned from the reading.

H)Non-fiction, Aged between 5 to 12
This book is an encyclopedia-type of non-fiction book, it talks about bats' habitat, behavior and characteristics with scientific truth.
The illustration supports the text, it is cohesive enough to understand without any confusion. However, it's not vivid enough.
The colors are a bit dull, and the illustration language is rough style it fits more of folklore, memoir, or fiction would be idealistic.
I chose aged between 5 to 12 mainly, this age range would digest the information that this book offers. For class activity, I would use this book for report. Asking simple questions of bats such as where was this bats' habitat? Which bat was you guys favorite?, Draw or paint your own bat and create a habitat for you. Consider the scientific information that you got and make it reasonable.
Through these, kids will be able to digest information well and upgrade their creativity.

This one is a 3.5 for me. It's no secret that I'm a longtime fan of Gail Gibbons and her work. Her picture books do a marvelous job of making topics related to the natural world relatable for young readers. In this updated version of her book on bats, she shares interesting facts about this misunderstood species while demystifying their behavior and debunking superstitions. Several different types of bats are highlighted as well as mention made of how they aid humans by eating insects. The illustrations often feature a dark blue night sky, and the back matter includes facts about bats, including how long they typically live and places where bats draw the attention of tourists who flock to see them fly into the sky at dusk. Elementary teachers can't miss by choosing books by Gail Gibbons for their classroom library. Her books are always well written and accessible.

This informational book about bats would be great for all ages because it shows different types of bats, where they live, what they eat and provides great illustrations. Each page gives the students a new drawing with new text to explain each bat.
To be honest, I hate birds or bats, so this book got a four because it made me cringe the whole time I was reading it. But overall, if students enjoy this type of information about mammals then this book would be great for them to read.
Genre: Informational
Grade Level: 1st through 4th

This was an informational book about bats. It talked about the different characteristics of bats along with colors, face shapes, and locations. I thought that this was a great read-aloud book to teach students about bats if that is something they are interested in or if you are talking about nocturnal animals. This was an easy read and also brought along some myths like Dracula which students will love as well.

This is a good informational book if your looking to find out more about bats! It is all about bats. It has all different facts about bats and it has the parts of the bats labeled on pictures throughout the book. This book would be appropriate for a first or second grade reader. The text explains all different facts about bats in simple forms for young readers to understand. The pictures are detailed and some are more simple than others.

This is a great book sharing facts about bats including what they eat, where they live and how much they vary in physical appearance. I would read this to students in second and third grade when they are learning about different kinds of mammals. This would also be a great way to get students interested in reading more nonfiction.

April 23, 2024Bats by Gail Gibbons is an informative book that provides basic facts about bats and their habits. It could be useful in a classroom setting for introducing students to these nocturnal creatures and their role in ecosystems, but it may not be the most engaging read for all audiences.
