This time of year, teachers and librarians are often frustrated by the fact that many of the good Halloween books have already been checked out of the library.\u00a0 If you need another book to complete your Halloween story time,\u00a0 All About Bats<\/em> is a good addition.\u00a0 The photos are big, uncluttered images of real bats, and the text is simple enough for three-year-olds.\u00a0 Here is the text from a double-spread “chapter:”<\/p>\n

Bat Wings<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many kids of bats.\u00a0 They all have webbed wings and furry bodies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nThree interior spreads from All About Bats<\/em> are available on the publisher’s website.<\/a><\/p>\n
