Little
Lost Bat
by
Sandra Markle
A
baby Mexican free-tailed bat is born! His mother cares for
him deep inside a cave where millions of bats live. The
baby bat hangs upside down clinging to the ceiling by his
thumb claws. On the cave floor below, hungry beetles wait
for any little bats that fall.
When
his mother goes out to hunt insects to eat, she always returns
to find him with the other babies and to feed him. But,
one night, she does not return. Her baby waits. She does
not return. He is hungry. She does not return. He is exhausted.
Still she does not return.
What
will happen to the little lost bat? Will Mother return?
Will he fall to the floor?
In
this story, you will learn a lot about bats as you read
about a little lost bat and cheer at the ending.

Stellaluna
by Janell Cannon
Stellaluna,
baby fruit bat, is born to Mother Bat. She clings to her mother
as she flies to find food. One night, an owl attacks, sending
the tiny bat falling into a bush. Though she hangs on to a
twig most of the night, at dawn, she falls...
down,
down,
down,
into
a
nest of baby birds. Will Stellaluna be able to learn the ways
of birds? Could she ever learn to like eating bugs? Will she
learn to sleep in the night and stay awake in the day? Why
won't Mother Bird let her sleep upside down?
It's
a story that will tug on your heart strings as you cheer for
a litte bat who is trying to start a new life with others
who are very different from her.
