Publisher Comments:

Knocked from her mother’s safe embrace by an attacking owl, Stellaluna lands headfirst in a bird’s nest. This adorable baby fruit bat’s world is literally turned upside down when she is adopted by the occupants of the nest and adapts to their peculiar bird habits. Two pages of notes at the end of the story provide factual information about bats. “Delightful and informative but never didactic; a splendid debut.”--Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis:

Accidentally knocked into a bird's nest, a baby fruit bat is adopted by the birds. And when she's finally reunited with her mother and the other bats, she learns that the differences between bats and birds are much less significant than her newfound friendship. Full color.

Sweet story about a baby fruit bat who becomes lost, lives with a bird family, then rediscovers her bat identity and family. A favorite of my 2-yr-old son. Beautiful illustrations. This is a book that deserves hardcover presentation. The best of Janell Cannon's books.
