This is a nicely sized book, easy to handle for children. Large, clear font makes it suitable for younger readers to use, but it would be equally good for teachers to read to primary school groups, or for parents to tell at bedtime.
The illustrations are engaging and bright and the main character extremely likeable.
With a lovely story about achieving what you aim for with perseverance, it has a great message. I loved the search for the Little Bat’s name. However, because of the font type within the illustrations, some of the letters (O, L, and D particularly) could easily have been mistaken for part of the picture. Younger children will certainly need help with this.
The activities at the end of the book – colouring, and remembering where certain icons belong – are an added bonus, and should keep kids engaged even after the story has ended.
A super little book that I am sure younger readers will enjoy. I award 4 stars.
