Spot Backyard Animals series.
This slim easy reader opens with a photo glossary highlighting four bat-related vocabulary words, accompanied by instructions: "Look for these words and pictures as you read." The following spreads are organized around these keywords, with bright, close-up photos and a smattering of basic facts. The volume lacks substance but effectively reinforces the meaning of a small number of relevant terms. Also available in Spanish.
