Should she stay or should she go? Red bats, like several other bat species, can either hibernate or migrate. Should this solitary little bat stay or should she go? That's the question the little red bat ponders as the leaves fall and the nights gets colder! Some animals, such as the squirrel, tell her to stay. But, what about the dangerous creatures that hunt red bats in winter? The sparrow and others urge her to go. But where? Carole Gerber takes young readers on an educational journey through one bat's seasonal dilemma in Little Red Bat. Imaginative illustrations by Christina Wald give little red bat charm and personality, and children will be waiting and wondering what will happen next. We received this wonderful and educational book from our friends at Sylvan Dell Publishing and enjoyed reading about Little Red Bat and her big decision. A perfect read for the Fall season! I loved the "For Creative Minds" at the end of the book. My son and I enjoyed learning how animals deal with seasonal changes and more about Red Bats. There are also "Related Websites," "Interactive Math, Reading and Comprehension Quizzes," and "Teaching Activities" on Sylvan Dell Publishing's website.
