Behind the Book
“When I was growing up, I remember pulling back the dining room drapes and seeing a bat hanging upside down from the curtain rod. While I screamed like crazy, my level-headed brother ran to the closet, got the broom, and chased the tiny mammal out of the house. Whew, what an adventure! I was glad to have this opportunity to learn more about bats and how they survive in the world.”
