Bats Around the Clock by Kathi Appelt, Melissa Sweet

There's a 12-hour dance marathon happening on TV, and who's dancin'? Bats! This story in rhyme is a fine idea but its rhythm is uneven. Watercolor illustrations are cute and the telling-time element makes it useful for primary grades.

It is cute, but the kids don't get it at all.

Bats are fun, not scary. This one has some great possibilities as a group read aloud and the illustrations are accessible and fun, too.

A little weird, a little goofy, and lot of fun! This one would be a nice read-aloud with a group.
