Great Book on Bats!

My son and I really enjoyed this book. I really liked both the illustrations and the content. The only thing I did not like, was the reference to "50 million years ago". Otherwise, this is an excellent book on these amazing mammals. Immediately, on the first page even, my son said, "Mom, that picture is beautiful!" I agreed with him. It dispells many myths about bats, as well as giving facts about them in an interesting way. The maps, diagrams, and definitions, were very helpful as well. Glancing back through the book, there are at least 34 different bats illustrated with their unique names. It definitely held my son's limited "6 year old" attention span. The pictures were engaging and very well done. Highly recommend for personal library, school, or even to do a project or reports on bats.
