Owl Bat Bat Owl by Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick -ADVISABLE

Fitzpatrick, Marie-Louise Owl Bat Bat Owl, PICTURE BOOK. Candlewick, 2016.  $16.
This wordless book features an owl family who find themselves sharing a sturdy tree branch with a family of bats (who hang upside down for the branch, naturally). One of the baby owls keeps trying to visit the bat family and make friends. Then a wind storm blows all the animals loose from their perch and the mama’s must collect their babies. Will the two families always be separate or can sharing a branch bring them together.
I am a big fan of wordless books for literacy, especially for school library activities. This one fits the bill, with its sweet story and its lovely conclusion. The illustrations are just adorable.
