review 1: This book can seem a bit redundant by about 2/3 of the way through, but the information is good. I think the author was probably a better researcher than a wordsmith. The thing is, the message came through loud and clear. Still, when I read it with kids there were those that were nothing but disgusted by a book about bats, but you can't every battle in that way. The kids enjoyed searching for the bat in the pictures as much or more than text, and a couple of the animal-loving students were very happy with it, but I don't think this one is destined to become a part of my regular read aloud repertoire. It's better if you have readers that like bats to begin with.
review 2: A nonfiction book about bats and the unique places where we can find them. Melissa Stewart ... morealso shares ways we can help bats thrive and ends it with a refrain "When people....bats can live and grow." On each page she also gives us facts about the different species of bats.The illustrations, done in acrylic, by Higgins Bond is beautiful and is a nice balance to the book. It keeps the readers interested and entertained. The passion and love for bats is evident in Stewart's book. She is on a mission to keep these species alive for many years to come as she educates us about how our actions affect the survival of these bats. A Place For Bats is simple, yet informative. In the back of the book, Stewart includes fascinating bat facts, selected bibliography, and helpful websites. The end paper is also loaded with information- showing regions of the United States, Mexico, and Canada where certain species of bats can be found. less
