(3) K-3 National Geographic Readers series. This leveled reader offers very basic information about bats. Topics range from types of bats to bat diet to behaviors such as echolocation and hanging upside down; clearly delineated headings introduce each subtopic (e.g., "Hanging Out," "Bat Rescue"). "Bat Myths," such as consuming human blood, are debunked. Simple sentence structures, along with corny jokes and excellent well-captioned photos, increase accessibility. Glos.
