The sun goes down and bats come out to play. It's a perfect night to go to the beach! So pack your buckets, banjos, and blankets—don't forget the moon-tan lotion—and wing with this bunch of bats to where foamy sea and soft sand meet.
This new lap board book edition includes lyrics to an original bat song by Brian Lies! Download the song for your listening pleasure at www.batbooks.com.
Here is a real reversal on a sunny day at the beach. The bats head out for a night of fun. They put on moonglow lotion, enjoy swims, picnics, burying each other in the sand, and beach volleyball. The details are a treat, such as the picnic food, which includes skeeter crisps and toasted bug marshmallows. The bats sing around the campfire and as the sky begins to lighten, they prepare to fly away. The moon is gone, but it did provide a perfect night for the bats at the beach. The illustrations, which are all nighttime scenes, still manage to show great detail—the light of the moon plays off the water and is reflected off the sand and a big yellow shovel. The campfire and interior of the snack bar provide a different type of light to help break the monotony of the night scenes. Young readers should find this reversal interesting, and it may help reduce the irrational fear that people seem to have about bats. A note on the jacket indicates that part of the proceeds will be donated to Bat Conservation International.

reviewed Bats at the Beach on March 29, 2020 Bats at the Beach
As I write this review, the world is in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. I work in health & human services so I'm still reporting to work, but my husband and son are home "sheltering in place'' as directed. It's stressful. It's weird. It's scary.
These are the times when children's books are magical escapes. I love the innocent, cute stories...the artwork....the loveliness of a story written for children. Even at 51 years old, I can still absolutely adore a happy, simple story! :)
I checked out both the print and audio book for this title from my local library (kudos to libraries who have increased their digital catalogs, online services and checkout limits to help everyone through this tough time). I just felt the need to have a book read to me! :) And -- I LOVED IT!!! It was like library story hour for grandma tonight. :) A cup of coffee and a good story -- just what I needed!
This story is so cute! Night falls....and bats all make their way to the beach to have fun in the moonlight! The artwork is wonderful! This would be a fun story to read in a classroom setting or at home. The art and rhyming text will definitely keep kids' attention!
The audio book version of this story is about 6.5 minutes long. Narrated by Chris Sorensen, the audio would be a great way for kids to have the book read to them, or combined with the physical book so early readers can follow along. Sorensen reads with great energy. Definitely an entertaining listening experience!
