When young fruit bat Stellaluna is separated from her mother, sheâs adopted by a family of birds with very different habits in this award-winning and bestselling picture book classic.
Knocked from her motherâs safe embrace by an attacking owl, Stellaluna lands headfirst in a birdâs nest. This adorable baby fruit batâs world is literally turned upside down when she is adopted by the occupants of the nest and adapts to their peculiar bird habits. Two pages of notes at the end of the story provide factual information about bats. âDelightful and informative but never didactic; a splendid debut.â âKirkus Reviews
