The Bat Jamboree

The Bat Jamboree, ill. Melissa Sweet, HarperCollins, 1996.

The Bat Jamboree was held early this year,
at the old drive-in movie not too far from here.
It was standing room only
as the houselights went down. The spotlight came up--
there wasn't a sound!

Then: One bat sang.
Two bats flapped.
Three bats cha-cha-ed.
Four bats tapped.

Every year a troupe of 55 buoyant bats comes up with 10 fabulous acts to entertain and instruct an enthusiastic audience. And every year the bats top themselves when they perform the grandest finale of all . . . .

With its exuberant text and enchanting illustrations, this tale is both a counting book and a thrilling theatrical event.
