These books offer basic information about meerkats and bumblebee bats. Each spread includes a simply worded question directed to the animal ("Little Meerkat, where do you live?") and its concise, easy-to-read answer. Lively supporting watercolor, ink, and colored-pencil illustrations manage to be both lighthearted and accurate in their representations of the animals and their habitats. Additional facts are appended. Review covers these titles: Hello, Bumblebee Bat and Meet the Meerkat.
