'Honduran white bats are strange, tiny mammals that hide from predators by day by huddling together in the folds of gigantic rainforest leaves. At night, these snub-nosed cotton balls fly out and feed on figs and other fruit. The short sentences, roughly three per spread, describe a day in the bat’s life and explain how its white fur acts as camouflage. Plenty of text features introduce youngsters to the nonfiction format, including a table of contents, labeled illustrations, a range map, a picture glossary, and an index. The brief chapters are filled with well-chosen, mostly full- page stock photos that show close-ups of the bats in a variety of settings. This Bat Buddies series (6 titles) selection is well-suited for beginning readers, classroom units on animals, and kids fascinated by unusual creatures.', Miriam Aronin, Booklist
