Learn about the Author:

Zoologist Davies offers a picture book about animals that blends story with fact. Night has fallen, and Bat awakens to find her evening meal. Follow her as she swoops into the shadows, shouting and flying, the echoes of her voice creating a sound picture of the world around her. When morning light creeps into the sky, Bat returns to the roost to feed her baby...and to rest until nighttime comes again. Bat loves the night!

What's an owl got to do with it?

Owls are one of the most fascinating birds.
​They can be found on every continent except Antarctica. There are over 200 species of owls. There are two major categories of them: – Barn Owls and True Owls. Barn Owl includes 19 species and True Owl includes more than 190 species. Barn Owls can be easily recognized by their heart-shaped face. Owls have an average lifespan of 20 years. They have eye tubes instead of eyeballs which provide them binocular vision.
