Bat Hospital
Clare Hibbert
- Reading
- Read a story at a time, pausing to talk about the bats’ care and any conservation terms that arise. This can help balance the emotional stories with the factual material.
- Themes
- Wildlife care and conservation: Individual bats and their carers feature alongside discussion of conservation issues and how bats live in the wild and are cared for in captivity. The framing combines stories about care with educational coverage of wildlife and conservation topics.
- Worth knowing
- The stories are described as emotional, and the topics include animal disease and care in captivity. If those subjects are sensitive for your child, consider reading together.
