5 stars
Author: Diane Mayr

Littlebat and his mother roost in a library attic. The bat enjoys picture book story time watching through a hole in the ceiling. He longs to join the group to see the pictures better. His mother tells him there is only one night he can do this safely: Halloween.
The bats look like furry stuffed animals including friendly faces and expressions. Otherwise, the illustrations are well done and even the cuteness makes the book better.
Bats in the Band
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Brian Lies
Spring is beginning waking the bats from hibernation. They begin catching insects, but feel something is missing.
That something is band night announced by a bugle blast. The bats converge on a theater for an evening of music.
The bats are cute. The text is filled with information about types of music and various instruments. The illustrations take lots of looking at to see all the details. The costumes on the bats reflect the type of music they play.
The text is done in rhyme with rhythm. This makes it fun to read.
