I will be building a bat house with ny students as a follow up. Zipping.

It helps to dispel some of those nasty myths about our only flying mammal that seem to persist. This is a very readable children's book about bats.

Pairing fiction and nonfiction works very well with young children. I use this book as part of my unit on bats that I teach in my second grade classroom.

A twin text that I also use is Stellaluna. is very informative and a very good resource for exposing children to needed symbiosis of man and nature.

Think about this book the next time you find yourself swatting at a pesky mosquito.

They use their talons to get a grip of the ceiling. of insects a night. Let me tell you what I have assimilated.Bats are considered nefarious by many people but they are actually very timid and friendly. Since bats are insectivores (eat only insects), they prey on bugs that bother humans like the menacing mosquito.

There is at least one bat that does not use echolocation. Some kids in Midfield, Alabama even formed a club called B.A.T. It is the California Leaf-nosed bat. Most bats use echolocation. Bats at Bracken Cave, near San Antonio, Texas, eat approximately 500,000 lbs. which is an acronym for Bats Are Terrific.

Many emperors like to have illustrations of bats on their possessions in order to bring them serendipity. So after reading Anne Earle's fabulous book, Zipping, Zapping, Zooming Bats, I learned that bats are innocuous, useful and interesting mammals. These mammals also use their wings to catch a scrumptious refection. Well, I did. This is when the bat finds the location of an object or prey by sending out sound waves and listening for the echo.

The purpose of the club is to inform people how harmless and useful bats are to people.Speaking of usefulness, let me illustrate how bats are helpful to humans. Bats keep themselves as clean as cats by using their tongues to keep themselves immaculate. That is useful because those insects could have obliterated farmers' crops and people's plants. Have you ever wanted to learn about bats. This bat listens for the insect's footsteps or wing beats to find its meal. Another interesting detail about bats is that they are expert fliers. The prey gets caught in the bat's wing membrane and the bat flips it onto its stomach and then gobbles it up.

Next, bats hang upside down in caves, under viaducts, and some attics. The last interesting detail that you may want to know is that some spelunkers accidentally kill bats by waking them during their hibernation. Bats are also considered good luck in China. When the cave explores wake up the bats, the bats have to use a copious amount of fat to find a new resting spot. That is equal to 250 tons. Also, bats help humans by pollinating flowers and allowing the fruit to grow.Bats are interesting too. While hanging upside down, they may choose to sleep or groom themselves.

Now they won't have enough stored up food (or fat) to make it until spring.Now that you have read my report about Anne Earle's fabulous book, Zipping, Zapping, Zooming Bats, I hope you have learned that bats are innocuous, useful and interesting.

Bat "pups" hang together in large groups called nurseries and each mother returns at least twice during the night to feed her little pup. It is filled with great pictures of bats and all kinds of bat facts. I love this book and so do my 5 year old son and 7 year old daughter. Did you know that there is a bat in Australia that has a six foot wing span. It lets you know that bats are nothing to fear and even shows you how to make a bat house in the back of the book. Did you know that bats are the only flying animals that nurse their young. I didn't until I read this book.don't worry they eat fruit. I liked bats before.now I like them even more.

This book was about bats like the flying fox and vampire. It taught me all about different kinds of books. I recommend it.
