We Need Bats

Bats-eek! Many people are afraid of these swooping nighttime flyers, but this book reverses that reputation to show readers how important bats really are. Readers will learn about different kinds of bats, including their anatomy, habitat, and behavior. The book will focus on the ways bats help us, from eating disease-carrying mosquitos to pollinating plants. Color photographs bring these beneficial bats to life, as readers learn about how bats are in danger and how humans can help. 'Creature Clue' fact boxes and a graphic organizer supplement the main text to give readers a well-rounded learning experience.
