This was an adorable book and I wish I had a youngin' to read it to. I love bats, I think they are fascinating and I think this is a great book about them. The bats in this book are cute and fun, playing instruments and whizzing through the skies. The pictures throughout where incredible and I think reading with to/with your kids would be a lot of fun. The book is a wonderful ode to music and the excitement and emotions that it can produce (even in these bats). Brian Lies has a few other books in the Bats series as well, including Bats at the Beach, Bats at the Ballgame, and Bats at the Library all of which are teaching young readers about fun times and things.A wonderful book! I always enjoy the bat stories done by Lies. This one, however, may be my favorite. Through out it captures the essence of music. The text magically weaves into the flow that the beat makes us clap our hands and stomp our feet, it builds to a loud gong, off in a corner is some music for the younger set, there's a one man band and yes, even a country song with some lonesome bat done something wrong, broken someone's heart.This storyline and its illustrations are super!!
Do You like book Bats In The Band (2014)?
Rhyming text. Intriguing illustrations. Some great musical references. A bit didactic at the end.
