Take an amazing journey through the upside-down world of bats with Charlotte Milner's The Bat Book. Bright, bold, and beautiful illustrations accompany fascinating facts about these furry flying mammals and their importance to the world we live in. From the way they fly, to how they communicate with each other, how they hunt, and why they sleep upside-down, each of the world's 1,300 types of bat is unique and utterly fascinating. Bats are also incredibly important to the environment. As well as gobbling up pests, and spreading seeds through the forests, they also pollinate over 500 different species of plants throughout the world, including some of our favorite fruits such as mangoes and bananas. Following on from The Bee Book and The Sea Book, Charlotte Milner continues to highlight important ecological issues faced by our planet to children, this time focusing on the world's only flying mammals. The Bat Book is perfect to teach little animal-lovers all about these clever creatures who do so much for our planet. Discover how much they matter, why they are declining, and what we can do to help. This charming celebration of bats shows children just how extraordinary these animals are, and is a reminder that it is up to us to care for our planet and its creatures.

Some of my favorite bat facts I learned from this book are:
1.There are over 1,300 species of bats.
2.The biggest bat, the Giant Golden-Crowned Flying Fox has a wingspan of more than 5ft (150cm).
3.The Bumblebee Bat is about the size of a large bumblebee and weighs no more than 1/10th oz. (2g).
4.Bats can’t launch off into flight like birds do, so instead they climb to a high point, hang upside down, and fall into flight.
5. Bats are important in so many ways: they pollinate more than 500 types of plants, disperse seeds (which also helps with reforestation), eat insects that could damage our crops, and in doing these things help to balance out ecosystems and provide important food and shelter sources for other animals, including us!
I would highly recommend this book for any bat lovers, people who want to know more about bats, or people who aren’t aware of all the important things bats do. There’s even great action points on things we can do to help give bats shelter, food, and safe environments where they can flourish. (
