pickIt is hard to quantify the impact the Merlin Tuttle has had on bat research and conservation. A tireless advocate for one of the most diverse mammals on earth, this collection of anecdote from a lifetime of adventures highlights the struggles of conservation, the prejudice against bats in general, and the dangers of researching remote locations. It was interesting to get a look back in time when technology was much more limited.

pick🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 Just as good as I remembered. The characters are likable and the plot twists are great (I read it before, and even I was surprised. That shows how bad my memory is). I love the animal sidekicks and especially the apothecary element.
This one's a bit of a nostalgic re-read because I originally read it when I was younger and don't remember much of the story. I do remember enjoying it, though, so I hope that continues.
(I don't think Charity's a fan, though)

Happy Bat Appreciation Month! (Sorry @TheLudicReader @DebLovestoRead 😉)
Researcher recently identified the 1500th unique bat species! The latest addition is the Bioko pipistrelle (𝘗𝘪𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴 𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘢) found on Bioko Island in Africa‘s Equatorial New Guinea, published by former BCI Student Scholar Dr. Laura Torrent and her colleagues. Scientific discovery is still happening! #batappreciationmonth
This book would be great for social-emotional learning. Exploring questions like “Have you ever felt left out or misunderstood?“ and “How can we make everyone feel included?“
pickThis picture book was published in 2022. This imaginative book tells the story of a bat named Bat who, despite his appearance, is gentle and kind-hearted. Bat wishes to make friends, but other animals are frightened by him. These emotions are depicted through ominous illustrations in the midst of the animals' fear. The bat's true character is shown in his house, which is full of warm colors and comfort. The artwork is bright and expressive.
