review 1: This is a cute story where rhyme is used to tell about a baseball game with bats. It is nominated for a California Young Reader Medal for 2013. The story is easy to read aloud and has some great humorous moments. I fear that some of the humor might be over the heads of some of its intended audience. I found that my older students, age 10 and up, were able to laugh along more than the younger ones. There were several times where I had to explain why something is funny for the primary students. It is a good story. I enjoyed the pictures in particular. The illustrations were the strong point of this story with vivid images and interesting backgrounds.
review 2: I love Lies' "Bat" books. The writing has a flow to it that is very soothing to the reader. It ... moreis so great for children to imagine this world that comes alive while they're sleeping. They aren't sure if they should believe it or not since that bats all go home when the world starts to wake up. Children can also relate to the experiences the bats have because they are doing human things and expressing emotions children are familiar with. The subtle changes the author makes to the "bat world" are also fun children to explore (i.e. the vendor selling "mothdogs" at the ballgame). less
