Title: wonderful reading for adults and older kids
Product review: I read this book about 15 years ago, when I purchased it at the gift shop at Carlsbad Caverns (I think); am now looking it up for my 8-year-old son to read. It can be a little intense emotionally, so the age at which a child can listen to it or read it independently will vary. (I blubbered more than once myself) But I think it's incredibly worthwhile for three reasons: a) it's candid and honestly tender, and clearly shows how the author and her bats connect with one another; b) the reader learns much about the biology and behavior of bats...an uncommon subject c) it's got the elements of any good human-animal story: the development of trust, the refinement of communication, wonder, funny parts, love, grief.
