Reach for this book when your child expresses fear of the dark, is startled by shadows in the night, or has developed a sudden obsession with the 'spooky' creatures of the forest. This science-forward narrative moves away from the typical Halloween tropes to show bats as the remarkable, helpful animals they truly are. It is the perfect bridge for turning nighttime anxiety into a sense of wonder and scientific curiosity. Through detailed illustrations and clear prose, Laurence Pringle explains how bats use echolocation, what they eat, and why they are essential to our environment. By replacing myths with marvelous facts, parents can help children age 6 to 10 build empathy for misunderstood creatures and gain a more confident, informed perspective on the natural world around them.
