Littlebat's Halloween Story

(4) PS Illustrated by Gideon Kendall. From his attic roost in the public library, Littlebat eavesdrops on story hour, but he isn't allowed to go down close to see the pictures. Motherbat says he must wait for the right time, which finally comes months later, when Halloween decorations adorn the walls and Littlebat blends right in. The payoff doesn't quite justify the buildup, but readers will relish Littlebat's predicament and Kendall's endearing depiction of him.
