Stellaluna by Janell Cannon

Stellaluna by Janell Cannon

When young fruit bat Stellaluna is separated from her mother, she's adopted by a family of birds with very different habits in this award-winning and bestselling picture book classic.

Knocked from her mother's safe embrace by an attacking owl, Stellaluna lands headfirst in a bird's nest. This adorable baby fruit bat's world is literally turned upside down when she is adopted by the occupants of the nest and adapts to their peculiar bird habits. Two pages of notes at the end of the story provide factual information about bats. Delightful and informative but never didactic; a splendid debut. --Kirkus Reviews
