Review

It is a summer evening and all the bats flock to an empty theater where they can play in bands. The bats have instruments made out of all kinds of things and play all kinds of music. The drawings in this picture book are wonderful. Each page has something special in it so you need to take your time and really look to see what it there. The text and its rhythm match the idea of playing in a band. This was a fun book. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Overall Book Score: very good
