Little Lost Bat

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Alan Marks. With an engaging voice and with facts cleanly woven into the narrative, Markle describes the first few weeks in the life of a baby Mexican free-tailed bat. Near the end, mother meets up with a deadly barn owl, but neither Marks nor Markle anthropomorphize, and Marks renders the bats with accuracy. Hope for the orphaned bat is offered through a new motherly connection.
