Defying Mama Bat’s orders, Bailey sneaks out of their hollow tree to follow a mournful cry coming from somewhere deep in the forest.
The sun is up and it's time for bed, but Bailey the Bat just can't sleep! Bailey discovers a young bull moose tangled up in an old fence. On one side of the fence, hunters roam. On the other side, a wolf pack is hunting. Both parties are looking for an easy dinner. Can a tiny brown bat save a big tangled moose?
A debut picture book from award-winning radio host and journalist Grant Lawrence, Bailey the Bat and the Tangled Moose is a suspenseful story and the perfect adventure for children moving towards early chapter books. Fully illustrated and longer than a standard picture book, this is an excellent choice for newly emergent readers.
Available in French as Charlie la chauve-souris et l’orignal mal pris.
“The suspenseful text of this colourfully illustrated picture book would encourage discussion of rules and safety, friendship, and asking for help, as well as different animal features. It would make a good read-aloud or independent reading choice for students getting ready for chapter books.”
