- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another great entry in Science Comics. Fun and charming. Great art. Approachable framing device. Fantastic colors.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is not just a graphic novel. Science comics are full of interesting information, detailed illustrations, use of topic and more.
In this book we meet a small brown bat that somehow ends up in an area where brown bats are not found. When he tries to eat insects flying around humans, he is swatted and ends up breaking a wing. The tour guide takes him to a vet who specializes and rescues bats. She sets his wing and puts him in a cages area. He is taken under the wing of Gray, a gray bat and meets the various other bats living there. Through these introductions we learn about habitats, food, family life, sizes, nesting, echolocation, homes etc. It is all done in a very interesting and entertaining way. There are some great diagrams and illustrations to add to the story. We learn about the efforts of people to repopulate the bat world by building bat houses and having insecticide free farms.
This book can be used by all ages to learn about bats and how to protect them and in turn how to protect the planet. It should be in all libraries, school and public. A great resource.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
