Quick, call out! Tell all you can reach:
the night is just perfect for bats at the beach!

So pack your buckets, banjoes, and blankets—don’t forget the moon-tan lotion—and wing with this bunch of fuzzy bats to where foamy sea and soft sand meet.

Brian Lies’ enchanting art and cheery beachside verse will inspire bedtime imaginations again and again. Come visit a bedazzling world of moonlight, firelight and... bats!
