About this audiobook
"The look on our faces is easy to read: " "a little night music is just what we need!" A late-spring night sky fills with bats flocking to a theater, already echoing and booming with delightful sounds of music. Bat music--plunky banjoes, bat-a-tat drums, improvised instruments, country ballads, and the sweet cries of a bat with the blues. Join this one-of-a-kind music festival as the bats celebrate the rhythm of the night, and the positive power of music. Brian Lies's newest celebration of bats and their dazzling, dizzying world will lift everyone's spirits with joyous noise and cheer!

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not my favorite in the series-but still lovely. Top notch illustrations.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Drawn to this book by the cover, from the first page to the last, I laughed and smiled. Not only is the concept marvelous, but the illustrations are detailed, crisp and clear. There is tremendous creativity in a story of bats waking from hibernation and longing to fill their soul with music.Poetic, lyrical, immensely high on the creative side, this is one of the best illustrated books I've read to date.It is one I will purchase simply to re-visit the incredible art work.Highly recommended!!!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5bats wake up form hibernation and are hungry; hungry for music. They invent instruments from bits and pieces of items found. Various genres of music are introduces to the children. They play music all night long until it is time for bed again. Music relate to people of various ages. great illustrations.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was an adorable book and I wish I had a youngin' to read it to. I love bats, I think they are fascinating and I think this is a great book about them. The bats in this book are cute and fun, playing instruments and whizzing through the skies. The pictures throughout where incredible and I think reading with to/with your kids would be a lot of fun. The book is a wonderful ode to music and the excitement and emotions that it can produce (even in these bats). Brian Lies has a few other books in the Bats series as well, including Bats at the Beach, Bats at the Ballgame, and Bats at the Library all of which are teaching young readers about fun times and things.A wonderful book!
