A great read for young scientists interested to know what they can do to help bats or other animals they’re concerned about. It’s a nice blend of bat facts and profiles of real kids and teens who are doing something to help bats.

What a fun little non-fiction book about some of my favorite mammals = bats. This is all about education. It’s very well done. Every other page highlighted a kid or teen who is doing something to educate the public in their area about bats. The book has a focus on kids and all the neat things you can do to support these misunderstood creatures. They aren’t blind and they don’t spread disease the way we say. They can spread disease like rabies, but it is a rare occurrence when that happens.
This is colorful and it has lots of chunks of information to keep the eye and interest going. The niece really enjoyed this book and thought they looked cute. I might have a little influence there as I love them so much. I miss my bat box. The nephew thought the bats look cool in a monster sort of way. He associates them with his monster shows, so win anyway. The nephew thought this was 3 stars and the niece gave this 4 stars.
Yeah, non-fiction and science books.

I read & evaluated this book for the Vancouver Children's Round Table (VCLR)'s 2019 Information Book Award.
I really liked how this book wasn't just about bats, but about bats' relationships with the world and how children (& adults) can be activists for bats. There were some cool fold-out pages and there were lots of photographs and call-out boxes that made digesting the information more fun. I was also impressed with the amount of back matter which included ways to help protect bats' habitats, and a list of organizations that advocate for bats.

If I was still in charge of a library, I would grab up a copy of this book in a heartbeat. Maybe even two. It educates readers about many aspects and species of bats. It highlights young bat activists who work in many different ways to ensure the survival of bats. I like the layout of the pages, with plenty of captioned photographs, large titles and heading, headings, maps, and inserts with bat facts. The back matter includes a page of information for how to help bats and another on organizations that help them. It also has a glossary and index.
