You'll Go Batty! July 25, 2008
10 out of 11 found this review helpful

Get lost in another wonderful adventure of our bat friends written and illustrated by Brian Lies. The story is fun and the illustrations are truly a wonder. A magical tribute to classic children's literature from a "bat's perspective" awaits for you inside to enjoy. Our family really enjoyed it. My 5 and 7 year old boys get very excited to read these bat books, especially at bedtime. We can't wait to see what these bats do next!

Brian Lies is an amazing children's author and illustrator!!!! The details in his pantings are incredible. If you are able to go and listen to one of his readings and book signings it is more than worth your while. He is wonderful with children and really takes his time to describe the development of his stories and pictures to parents/teachers/adults. I can not say enough about this author. I am a children's Speech-Language Pathologist and a parent and he is by far one of my favorite children's author's. I look forward to reading many more of his stories with my son and clients as well! Thank you Brian for sharing your talents and stories with others!!!!!

Bats love this library October 7, 2008

And librarians and the kids they share it with will love this book. The detailed pictures beg for young readers to take a closer look. Baby bats wear swimmies on their arms. A water fountain is turned into a great splashing pool. Characters from books kids know and love make frequent appearances, and the library setting reminds us of the venerable institutions we all remember, or at least wish we'd grown up with. This librarian says the book is not to be missed and I'm off to order my copy now.

Another inky evening is here and it's Bat Night at the library: a time when book-loving bats fly in to adventure and storytime's lure. Brian Lies' gorgeous, fun drawings highlight a different kind of bookworm and add appeal and zest even adult read-alongs will appreciate. Highly recommended for discriminating picture book libraries seeking captivating, different story lines and appealing drawings.

An exceptional book September 21, 2008
4 out of 6 found this review helpful

Children enjoy seeing references to their favorite books in this book, and then THIS book becomes a new favorite to be enjoyed over and over again. The illustrations are particularly wonderful, reminiscent of those of Garth Williams in terms of cuteness. They are just as appealing as his, yet more realistic since they are executed as full color paintings.
This book is a worthy companion to Bats at the Beach, and even more clever.
It won't disappoint you!
