In sweeping compositions that transport fans to the rightside-up and upside-down world of bats at play, Brian Lies treats us to a whole new ballgame.

We love all the bat books!, Aug 21 2010
By S. Sims - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bats at the Ballgame (Hardcover)
My husband and I don't have any children yet, but I'm going to school to be an elementary school teacher so am always on the lookout for great kids' books. We found Bats at the Beach and Bats at the Library at a book store several months ago, read both standing there, and just laughed and laughed. We bought both books on the spot, have given several copies to children we know as gifts, and I even used Bats at the Library as the basis for my first lesson plan. The kids at the school loved it! We've been eagerly waiting for Bats at the Ball Game to come out and were so excited to find it at the book store today. We rushed home with it like a pair of giggly 8 year olds and read it together. It does not disappoint! The story is good and suspenseful, but the author's word choice and the illustrations are absolutely delightful. We aren't even baseball fans and hardly understand how the game works, but we loved this book anyway. I think children who are into baseball would like it even more!We really hope Brian Lies writes some more bat books. We spotted a toboggan on the very last page of the book- perhaps Bats at the Sledding Hill will be next? Or Bats at the Bowling Alley? I can imagine them bowling with marbles!

Loved It!, Sep 20 2010
By Mary Kate - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bats at the Ballgame (Hardcover)
Let's just cut to the chase, shall we? I loved the concept, loved the artwork, loved the rhyming verse. This was just pure, feel good fun and I enjoyed every minute of it. More importantly, so did my grandkids. I'm keeping my review short so I can get busy ordering author/illustrator Brian Lies' two previous bat books - Bats at the Beach and Bats at the Library.Highly recommended!

I love Brian Lies! And his latest bat book! I have always loved bats and was thrilled to find Brian Lie's 'Bat Night at the Library' and then 'Bats at the Beach'. My children and I love these stories with their charming illustrations of all the adorable bats, my son especially likes the rhyming text.Thank you Brian Lies for another wonderful bat book!
