We also have a bat "house" in the garden and whenever some nested in there or in a nearby wall, I loved watching their shadows dance from side to side of the streetlamp (catching insects) in summer nights. I've always loved bats - I love all animals but bats are silent and just cute! :D We get to see the different types, their different habitats, what they eat, how that helps humans (they are basically pollinators like bees), the threats to their survival and what we can do to preserve the species still existing. This book, as the title already shows, tells its readers of bats.
This charming celebration of bats shows children just how extraordinary these animals are, and is a reminder that it is up to us to care for our planet and its creatures.Īnother fantastic nature non-fiction book by this author! Last year, I discovered the one about the world's oceans and loved the writing as well as the presentation so much that I bought all books Milner has published so far. Discover how much they matter, why they are declining, and what we can do to help.
The Bat Book is perfect to teach little animal-lovers all about these clever creatures who do so much for our planet. Following on from The Bee Book and The Sea Book, Charlotte Milner continues to highlight important ecological issues faced by our planet to children, this time focusing on the world's only flying mammals. As well as gobbling up pests, and spreading seeds through the forests, they also pollinate over 500 different species of plants throughout the world, including some of our favourite fruits such as mangoes and bananas. Bats are also incredibly important to the environment. From the way they fly, to how they communicate with each other, how they hunt, and why they sleep upside-down, each of the world's 1,300 types of bat is unique and utterly fascinating. Bright, bold, and beautiful illustrations accompany fascinating facts about these furry flying mammals and their importance to the world we live in. Take an amazing journey through the upside-down world of bats with Charlotte Milner's The Bat Book.
