review 1: I LOVE this book! One night somebody leaves a window ajar at the library. The alarm goes out! Bats come from near and far to visit the library. Written with a fun meter and rhyme, it's great to read aloud. The illustrations are terrific; I especially like the part where the bats get lost in the stories they are hearing and classic stories starring bats are shown. Demonstrates the delights of libraries to all! I think I like it more than Wes did.
review 2: Bats at the Library is a story told in rhyme by a bat . The bats are bored until one of them hears that a window was left open at the library. The bats are very excited and do lots of fun things in the library like making shadows on the wall using an overhead projector, copying themselves on the copying machin... moree, and of course the highlight of the night, storytime. All the bats gather around and listen to the stories being told until the sun starts to come up and they have to leave without finishing their books, hoping they will get another chance to return and experience the amazing world inside the library.The illustrations of watercolor are dark throughout because of it being nighttime but are very realistic and detailed in the scenery and what bats really look like. The illustrations show the bats reading books in the forefront and in the background they show the bats dressed up and imagining themselves as the characters in the books they are reading like Little Red Riding Hood, Aladdin and Winnie the Pooh.There are so many details that students may not notice everything after the first reading. This is really a book that is better read on your own to explore the pages. One book the bats are reading is called Goodnight Sun and is the same boardbook colors as Goodnight Moon. There is an old black and white drawing from Make Way for Ducklings however there are a mother bat and her little bats following and crossing the road in the ducklings place.It would also be interesting to see what books they have read or recognize that are referenced in the pictures but not explicitly stated. Although this would be a good book to pair with a nonfiction bat book and compare what these bats did in the story and what real bats do, I think it would also be a good story to use to write our own rhyming verses. There is one wordless two page spread that shows the bats as characters from different stories and I would like to see what the students could come up with to describe what is happening in the story at that point. less
