My five-year-old daughter said this book was the absolute best, but she doesn’t want us to get a vampire bat!

My child loves this book. It tells the tale of how a bat lives with informative sub-texts about bats; explaining echolocation, hunting, roosts and how the batlings develop. This has become a classic book in our collection. I came across it in the school where I work and the children who are rising 8s enjoy sharing it. Any child interested in bats will like the story style and appreciate learning facts about pipistrelles. The illustrations are lovely too.

This is a beautiful book which I have used for children in school in my Year 1 and 2 class. They loved the way it was presented and read by Stephen Tomkinson. Without realising it they absorbed a lot of facts about this creature and the language / descriptions within the book really helped them with their literacy. Would highly recommend it

"Bat is waking, upside down as usual, hanging by her toenails. Her beady eyes open. Her pixie ears twitch. She shakes her thistledown fur..." So begins Nicola Davies marvelous picture book introduction to the world of bats. Follow mother bat as she awakens at dusk, flies out into the night hunting and searching for food, then returns home at sunrise to feed her batling, and sleep again until nightfall. Ms Davies combines a simple and evocative story line with interesting scientific information, fun facts, and trivia. Find out where bats live, how they hang upside down so effortlessly, their special body features, how they navigate at night by echolocation, what they eat, how they hunt... Sarah Fox-Davies' quiet and eloquent illustrations complement the text beautifully, and bring this mysterious little creature and its habitat to life. Perfect for emerging readers, Bat Loves The Night is non-fiction at its very best, and is a fascinating and intriguing book budding scientists will want to study, pore over, and read again and again.
