Description

Frolic through the library with Caldecott honor winner and New York Times best-selling creator Brian Lies' adorable bats. This nighttime escapade is part of the award winning Bat Book series, perfect for bedtime reading as well as budding book lovers on Halloween and all year round.

Can it be true? Oh, can it be?
Yes!--Bat Night at the library!

The enchantment of story time is near--come bats, come one and all, and gather around for the tale of the night.

Roam the book-filled halls on this inky evening as the bats wander around the library and cause all sorts of mischief.

Brian Lies' joyful critters and their nocturnal celebration cast library visits in a new light. Even the youngest of readers will want to join the batty book-fest.

Critical Reviews

"...the library-after-dark setting works a magic all its own, taking Lies and his audience to an intensely personal place."
-- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Dark, inky acrylic paintings accompany a sprightly rhyming text, a wonderful sequel to 2006's completely charming Bats at the Beach." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer

"These book-loving bats might encourage young readers to explore more stories on their own." -- San Antonio Express-News

"... appealing acrylic illustrations that teem with bats so charming they will even win over chiroptophobes." -- Booklist

"In this latest from Lies, it's all-deservingly-about the artwork. He brings a sure, expressive and transporting hand to this story." -- Kirkus Reviews

"...the charm is all in the story itself." -- New York Times Book Review
