Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Another inky evening's here — The air is cool and calm and clear. Can it be true? Oh, can it be? Yes! — Bat Night at the library! Join the free-for-all fun at the public library with these book-loving bats! Shape shadows on walls, frolic in the water fountain, and roam the book-filled halls until it's time for everyone, young and old, to settle down into the enchantment of story time. Brian Lies' joyful critters and their nocturnal celebration cast library visits in a new light. Even the youngest of readers will want to join the batty book-fest! Review:"Lies's (Bats at the Beach) much-lauded bats are back and the library's got them — thanks to a window left open by an unsuspecting (or perhaps sympathetic) librarian. Although the young ones initially misbehave (they make photocopies of their bodies and turn the water fountain into a splash pool), Lies cuts them a little slack: 'It's hard to settle down and read/ when life flits by at dizzy speed.' Story time settles everyone (upside-)down, and soon the furry creatures are 'completely swallowed up' in books, giving Lies comic license to bat-tify the signature visuals from classics like Make Way For Ducklings; Pippi Longstocking; Goodnight, Moon and Peter Rabbit. As with its predecessor, this book's richly detailed chiaroscuro paintings find considerable humor at the intersection where bat and human behavior meet. But the author/artist outdoes himself: the library-after-dark setting works a magic all its own, taking Lies and his audience to a an intensely personal place. Ages 4 — 8." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:Those joyful critters from the New York Times bestseller Bats at the Beach are back.
