        This is a book about bats be like kids on the beach. While everyone else is sleeping during the night. The bats get ready to go to the beach to have a party, play in the water, build sand castles, make friends, and much more, This is a fun story that is told about bats but you would typically see the kids doing these things at the beach. This story is also a rhymning on each page.  This would be a good story to read when we are talking about bats during science. This may help the student get use to reading and reading can be fun!!! This is another great story! This would be a fun story to read.
