By	TeensReadToo "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

A colony of bats sighs collectively in boredom. The evening is still young, and they've already eaten, swooped, and soared to their hearts' content. They want to do something different, so they follows the rumors of an empty window, excited to find that the window belongs to the local library.

Though they don't get to see inside the library very often, many members of the colony look forward to this rare treat. The older ones rush off to explore the shelves of books, while the little ones romp through the halls, using a projector to make shadow puppets or playing in the water fountain. The adult bats settle the little ones down with a lively story time, until every bat on the premises can imagine themselves in the various worlds of books.

After a wonderful evening with Little Red Riding Bat, Make Way for Batlings, and the Velveteen Bat, they see the sun lightening the sky outside the window, and know they must leave. However, they all look forward to the next time a librarian leaves a window open, so they can have another Bat Night at the Library.

Smooth rhymes and even more impressive artwork make this second book on the bats of Brian Lies a truly delightful read for anyone, young or old. Rich detail and humorous visual characterization of these tiny winged mammals will make even the youngest reader giggle, and teach the importance of reading at the same time.
