School Library Journal
Gr 1-3-Gorgeous photographs distinguish these two books from similar titles. The first one begins with an introduction to the topic, followed by facts about where bats live, what they eat, and how they handle the cold weather. Simon does a good job dispelling myths, adding trivia, and drawing readers in: "[The pipistrelle] weighs less than two pennies and is only as long as your little finger." In contrast, Bridges is confusing and lacks continuity. For example, the text states: "There are three main kinds of bridges: beam, arch, and suspension." The next page describes a beam bridge, followed by the introduction of a truss bridge (a type of beam bridge). Pass on Bridges, but consider Bats (for browsing only, not research) for beginning readers.-Anne Knickerbocker, formerly at Cedar Brook Elementary School, Houston, TX Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.Book Details
