K-3Hello Reader! Science series.
Illustrated by
Lena Shiffman.
In a gentle memoir, McNulty recalls her tenth summer when her family rented a farmhouse that, empty of human inhabitants, was home to a bat colony. Shiffman's soft watercolors underscore the book's non-hysterical tone and extend the text by showing various kinds of bats and their habitats. Advanced beginning readers almost ready to attempt longer chapter books will find this volume nonthreatening.
