From School Library Journal:

Grade 2-6-- These colorful, large-format titles will be popular with intermediate readers, but they are not without drawbacks. The photographs are excellent, but not always clearly labeled. The left page holds the text and usually some childlike sketches related to the topic. Bats looks at several species, one per double-page spread. The beginning of each short article describes some aspects of the particular species, and by the end expands to make general comments about bats. Many pages also include short blurbs in different type to mention other bits of general information. Students doing research cannot find what they need in a logical manner; they must read the entire book and put the bits and pieces together. There is no index or table of contents. Frogs and Spiders have the same strengths and weaknesses. --Dorcas Hand, Annunciation Orthodox School, Houston

Review:

The appearance of this fun title in paper assures that new audiences will relish the photos and amazing facts which appear on bats. Kids ages 8 and older will find this encourages questions and interest as it explores the natural history of the bat. -- Midwest Book Review
