Step into the fascinating, upside-down world of bats with The Bat Book — a gorgeously illustrated, fact-filled bat book for kids that introduces young nature-lovers to these misunderstood creatures and the important roles they play in our ecosystems.
 
Did you know that bats are the only mammals that can truly fly? That they help pollinate bananas and mangoes? That they gobble up pesky insects and spread seeds through forests? Through bright, bold illustrations and clear, engaging facts, Charlotte Milner makes it easy (and fun!) for kids to explore the secret lives of bats — and understand why they need our help.
This book covers:
How bats fly, hunt, and communicate
Why bats sleep upside-down
Myths about bats (and what’s actually true!)
Their role in pollination and pest control
Why bat populations are declining — and how kids can help
Includes an activity section with ideas like planting a bat-friendly garden and other easy ways children can become everyday conservationists.

This isn’t just a book about bats — it’s a celebration of them. With vibrant visuals, digestible facts, and gentle humor, Charlotte Milner once again delivers a non-fiction gem that educates while delighting. We love how this book invites even the youngest readers to look closely at a creature that’s often feared or overlooked — and to see it with empathy and wonder.
