The Gentleman Bat

Title: The Gentleman Bat

Author: Abraham Schroeder, Illustrated by Piotr Parda

Pages: 32

Published: 2014


This is a picture book we checked out a few months ago and I remember really enjoying it.  Since I've been a little lazy about working on this book blog lately, I was glad that I at least used my smart phone to take a picture of the cover.  So, I was able to see the name of the author and check it out again.

The full moon was shining, the temperature fair;
A wispy grey fog infused the crisp air.

A cool autumn drizzle did not spoil his stroll;
A sprinkling of rain can be good for the soul.

Reading along and going out for a night stroll with the Gentleman Bat has been such a delight.  There isn't anything about this book that I don't like.  It is classy, timeless, and full of amazing illustrations.  The detail of the drawings are just so lovely.  This is a book I'll want to read to the kids over and over again.  Hope you are able to check it out!

xoxo,
Kelly

  1. Bummer :( It looks like our library doesn't carry this one. It looks like a keeper.
