Hello, Bumblebee Bat




Nature science for babies! Infants, toddlers, and their grown-ups meet a bumblebee bat and learn about its life and habitat through interactive questions and answers.

My name is Bumblebee Bat.
I may be small,
but I'm a great flyer.
I live in a secret cave with my brothers and sisters.

Want to know more? Then open this Geisel Honor book and fly with Bumblebee Bat into the night.

A series of questions and answers introduce children to the life and habitat of the exotic and endangered Bumblebee Bat. One inch long and the weight of a dime, these tiniest of bats are carefully protected; expert author Darrin Lunde takes us to their home in Thailand and provides a sneak peek into their world. Scientifically accurate illustrations make these exotic animals accessible to young readers.

Back matter includes additional child-friendly facts.
