Fitzpatrick, Marie-Louise Owl Bat Bat Owl, PICTURE BOOK. Candlewick,
2016. $16.
This
wordless book features an owl family who find themselves sharing a sturdy tree branch
with a family of bats (who hang upside down for the branch, naturally). One of
the baby owls keeps trying to visit the bat family and make friends. Then a
wind storm blows all the animals loose from their perch and the mama’s must
collect their babies. Will the two families always be separate or can sharing a
branch bring them together.
I
am a big fan of wordless books for literacy, especially for school library
activities. This one fits the bill, with its sweet story and its lovely
conclusion. The illustrations are just adorable.
