Owl Bat Bat Owl

(2) PS In this tender wordless tale, two nocturnal-animal families uneasily share a branch in a treetop: a quartet of owls atop; a quartet of bats underneath. When both families are scattered by a gust of wind, rescuing all the youngsters requires cooperation between both species' adults and results in a newfound mutual acceptance. The softly textured digital illustrations successfully convey characterization through subtle shifts in body language.
