From the Inside Flap
Just when many of earth's creatures are seeking shelter for the night, bats--nature's only flying mammals--are beginning to hunt. As the warm colors of evening deepen, their mysterious silhouettes seem to flicker across the sky. In this delightful picture book, award-winning author-artist Barbara Bash guides readers into the shadowy realm of the Little Brown Bat, one of the most common species in North America. Her fascinating portrait follows a year in the life cycle of this amazing animal--from the maternity colonies where bat pups are born and nurtured until they can hunt on their own, through the late summer "bat conventions" where males and females gather to mate, to the hibernation caves hidden among the hills, where the bats winter in a state of deep torpor. Although there are nearly a thousand different kinds of bats throughout the world, to many people they remain objects of fear and superstition. With lucid text and glowing watercoolers, Barbara Bash illuminates the hidden world of the bat, dispelling the mystery that surrounds these harmless and beneficial creatures of the dark.
