Description
By: David Gullan, Samantha Metcalfe (Illustrator)
‘There it is! That’s it! That’s the last bat!…Or could it be those ones? Or this one, or that?’
As the stars come out for the night, a colony of bats passes overhead. Where are they going and what will they do on their nocturnal adventures?
Last Bat of the Night follows native Australian megabats through the night, as they glide across our skies to feed, drink and pollinate. Will you be the one to spot the last bat?
Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5 to 9.
'This beautiful book is a charming introduction to Australia’s bats for young readers. Last Bat of the Night encourages us all to pause and appreciate some of the incredible wildlife that we are so lucky to share our environment with.' – Dr Pia Lentini, Senior Scientist, Wildlife Ecology, Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research.
