There's a reason bats are associated with Halloween-they look pretty spooky! But these gentle, shy creatures don't hurt people.In fact, they help us in many ways-by eating insects, pollinating flowers, and spreading fruit seeds. The well-organized chapters help students identify key details. The illustrations and text features such as captions and bold print help readers (Ages 6-7) navigate the text while the photographs add clarity and enable students to better understand the text.
