Book Description
Danny Dragonbreath is hoping to see lots of cool bats when he and his best friend, Wendell, visit Danny's cousin, a bat specialist in Mexico. But he isn't expecting to get up close and personal with a giant bat monster, who kidnaps Danny and carries him off to her lair! Now nerdy Wendell will finally get a chance to be a hero . . . but only if he can hunt down the bat monster before she permanently adopts Danny as her bat monster baby.
Ursula Vernon has packed the fourth book in this laugh-until-smoke-comes-out-of-your-nose series with fantastic bat facts and hilarity of the highest order. Wimpy Kid fans everywhere will love this decidedly un-wimpy (but often unlucky!) dragon.

Kidnapped by a Giant Bat!,
By
This review is from: Dragonbreath #4: Lair of the Bat Monster (Hardcover)
Reason for Reading: Next in the series.This is the fourth book in the series and Ms. Vernon is still going strong. I'll say this was not my favourite of the bunch but it is still a worthy entry in the series. Danny and Wendell save a tiny bat from drowning and true to the form that the series ventured from in book three, Danny asks him mom for a relative who can help them save the bat's life. So she sends them off to visit cousin Steve in the rain forests of Mexico as he is conducting research on bats there. Whilst there, the three come upon the existence of a new giant species of bat that kidnaps Danny. Fortunately Steve and Danny get along amazingly well from the beginning because, as Wendell notices, they share the same attitude and humour. This helps carry the story and keep the dynamics rolling along as the reader is used to when Wendell and Steve are partnered up for a good portion of the book searching for Danny. Of course, as expected, the plot is full of action from start to finish in this part text, part graphic novel chapter book. The humour is off-key and as hilarious as ever with Danny/Steve and Wendell's character's being so completely different. Perhaps I've gotten used to the silliness of these stories and that is why this one didn't quite thrill me as much as the last two. Another difference is that this book does manage to add quite a lot of actual scientific information about real bats into the story. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just different for a Dragonbreath book. The end of the book warns us that next time Danny will have a "Haunting" adventure, which sounds promising as the fifth book will be released in August is called "No Such Thing As Ghosts".

Great option for children who like Diary of a Wimpy Kid,
By T. Hill - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dragonbreath #4: Lair of the Bat Monster (Hardcover)
I was a little apprehensive about ordering these books for my 9-year old son. He's finicky about his books. I took the risk and he LOVES them. I've purchased every book in the series and he keeps asking for more.

This review is from: Dragonbreath #4: Lair of the Bat Monster (Hardcover)
All of the Dragonbreath books are well written and the stories are always fun & suspenseful without being overly scary. They keep my daughter very interested & she gets upset when it is not read before bedtime. Also, I love the illustrations.

This review is from: Dragonbreath #4: Lair of the Bat Monster (Hardcover)
I am constantly looking for books that will keep my eleven year old son entertained. He really loved the Diary of a Whimpy Kid books so when I purchased these books I was looking for a series of fun and entertaining books for him to read this summer. Well needless to say; these books were so entertaining that my son has read the entire series in less than a week. If you have a son or daughter ages 9-12 they are sure to really enjoy this series. The DragonBreath series is cute and very entertaining.The books have some pictures which my son really enjoyed looking at. I highly recommend this series especially for boys and girls that are into the Wizard 101 internet games.
