Draw a Bat, and the Perfect Book

First graders were shown how to draw a bat, but only after learning some more about them in this amazing new book I found “Nightsong”.

It beautifully illustrates how they use their radar to see at night, and tells of a young bat’s first flight by himself. Really one of those special books, and a great match for this how to draw project.
