Bat's Big Game

32 pp. | Whitman | April, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-0587-8 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Eugenia Nobati. Bat wants to join a soccer game--but only on the winning team. He starts out playing for the Animals, but when the Birds take the lead he switches sides (he has wings, after all). This amusing tale about good sportsmanship is inspired by a folktale (brief source note included). The digitally generated illustrations are confusing because some of the creatures are hard to identify.
