Mama and her precious baby bat wake up at dusk ready to take a flight into the sky. Together they soar and explore, relishing each tender moment spent with each other until bedtime at dawn. New York... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Baby Bat doesn't want to nest down for the day, so Mother Bat must convince him that it's a good idea. To wear him out, she takes him on an exploratory flight, encountering many beautiful and curious sights. With gorgeous illustrations and sweet verse, Baby Bat's Lullaby will capture young children's imaginations. The soft details open youngsters' eyes to the simple beauty of a misunderstood creature, while the rhythm soothes the day's anxieties away. Truly a classic-to-be, I recommend this title to all parents with young children. Reviewed by Christina Wantz Fixemer, whose daughter adores this book. 6/17/2006
Baby Bat's a joy

Baby Bat shines with Jacquelyn Mitchard's lyrical descriptions and Julia Noonan's excellent illustrations. I love Mitchard's writing, but I never expected her to tackle bats! But this paean to Mother Love, with its lovely rhymes and luminous pictures of soaring bats, is going to win over both kids--and their parents.
On its way to become a classic...

I am a fan of Jacquelyn Mitchard and am surprised and DELIGHTED she is now writing childrens books! In her wonderful wordsmithing way, she takes us on a journey of mother and child...it was sweet, endearing, and coupled with the beautiful illustrations will become a classic, I'm sure.

Outstanding...sweet, lovable, soft and cuddly. Mitchard does it again with her rich mosaic of work and Noonan's illustrations. A MUST for every "trick or treater" this year...and what a treat it is. Keep 'em comin' Jacquelyn!

Baby Bat's Lullaby is a joy - the paintings glow with the magic of an exotic evening adventure, while the language is silky, cozy and reassuring . . . a word quilt. It's impossible to read this book without cuddling!
