"This overview affords a clear and particular analysis of BATTY WINGS. I recognize how the reviewer highlights the balance between textual content and illustrations, making the e-book engaging for young readers. The point out of simple but magical storytelling is exciting- does the ebook encompass any interactive factors, like questions or sports for kids? I'd like to know extra about how it continues children engaged!"

I am charmed by this straightforward no-nonsense children's book. I love good illustrations, dialogue, and sometimes it is nice to enjoy a book just for the good story without heavy moral lessons behind it, taking children on a magical adventure.

"Batty Wings" by Marlene Rattigan is a book for children that has a grandmother called Nanna as the main character. Nanna is able to transform into a bat at night and fly around the house and she shares her incredible experiences with her grandchildren. The book is heartwarming and well-illustrated so it should be a wonderful book to read to my three great grandsons. It is a very simple story that includes 28 pages so it is easy to read to children in one sitting. Young children that have already learned to read will enjoy the short paragraphs and lack of big words that they may not understand. The book deserves the 5 out of 5-star rating.

I am sure kids will find Nanna's nighttime adventure to be enjoyable. Though, as mentioned by the reviewer, there's no straight forward moral lesson to learn, children will likely find the adventurous experience featured in the book to be entertaining.
