Bats at the Beach

by Brian Lies

What happens
At the beach
When you go to bed?
“All would be quiet,”
You may have said.

Then you’d be surprised
If you could see
Bats at the beach
Who act like
You and me!

Come read a book
That shows
What bats do
At night on the beach
Where they enjoy it Like you!

If you like bats, you will love Bats at the Beach. It rhymes, and it is funny! Do you think a bat on the beach would roast marshmallows? It does...kind of. But we don't think you would eat them! You will enjoy the fun--especially when you compare this rhyming fantasy with the facts!
