SuitabookThe bat-poet
Randall Jarrell
- Reading
- Read together and pause after a poem or a reaction to it; invite your child to say what they think the bat notices that another character might miss.
- Themes
- A different way of seeing: The bat sees the world differently from other bats and tries to share that view through poems. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- An owl almost eats the bat.
