Zipping, Zapping, Zooming Bats (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2)
Grade 1-4?An easy-to-read, basic introduction to the behavior and characteristics of bats. Rather than concentrating on a single species as Barbara Bash does in Shadows of Night (Sierra Club, 1993), Earle provides a more general overview of these fascinating flying mammals. She stresses the ecological role they play in the reduction of harmful insects and tries to dispel negative myths about them. The attractive acrylic and colored-pencil illustrations clearly reinforce the material presented in the text. In addition, information is provided on how people can help these creatures, which species are endangered, and building bat houses to attract them.?Kathy Piehl, Mankato State University, MNCopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
