Product Description

Product Description
All the young wild animals think Bat is mad. How can she say that a tree has the trunk at the top and the leaves at the bottom? Until, that is, they consult wise Owl who suggests that if they just try looking at things from Bat's point of view, they might see things very differently.

From the Back Cover
All the young wild animals think Bat is mad. How can she say a tree has the trunk at the top and the leaves at the bottom? But then wise owl points out that if they look at things from Bat’s point of view, they may see things very differently!

5.0 out of 5 stars Light-hearted picture book which encourages children to think about others' points of view., 8 Nov 2007
By ELH Browning "Esther-Lou" (Kingston Bagpuize, Oxon) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Daft Bat (Paperback)
When a bat moves in to their patch, the little wild animals come to the conclusion that she's a right daft bat - fancy thinking the grass is above and that an umbrella would keep your feet dry, for example. But Owl is wise and shows the other animals the need to look at things from Bat's point of view. At this point the text in the book is inverted and you turn the book over to carry on, so that the reader sees the view from upside-down themselves. This is a lovely touch, which my children think is very funny, and helps the book stand out from the crowd.
There are great pictures too as you'd expect from Tony Ross - clear,friendly and amusing.
This is a lovely story for the 3+s, with humour and a thoughtful message. You'd be daft to miss it.
