Fun as always, though in addition I found this one to be more educational than most of the series books have been so far. I also appreciate the rescue workers she mentioned in the dedication. I also appreciated the way the POV splits in this one, so that we get more of Wendell's POV, too. ( )

Definitely one of my favorites in the series, both for the real science elements and the silly otherness in cute form. Totally made my evening. ( )

Exactly what I needed - good solid fluff, with no bad stuff in it. OK, Danny is kidnapped by a giant bat...and the description of the bat cave floor is...I'm glad I wasn't eating at the time. But happy ending, of course, and some lovely wanderings along the way. And some very interesting worldbuilding - I'd somehow missed the part about all the "people" in these books being reptiles of various sorts. ( )

Nothing like a good harmless kids book involving learning about bats, one of the most misunderstood animals next to mice! This story is fun, pretty, has several cute bat illustrations and one 'ugly' vampire bat, and a whole lot of Danny and Wendell going on another crazy adventure! ( )

Another hilarious younger reader adventure by Ursula Vernon, science geek and artist extraordinaire. The fast paced fun, entertaining dialogue, quirky characters and events are sure to appeal to children, particularly boys, aged 6 . The delightful illustrations enhance the text and bring the story to life.

After rescuing a bat from a swimming pool, Danny Dragonbreath and his brainy and sensible friend Wendall, take the bus down to Mexico where they journey deep into the rainforest to meet up wtih Danny's cousin, Steve. Steve is studying bats, and introduces them to some of the cutest, and some of the ugliest, members of the species. But things turn bad when an enormous bat kidnaps Danny and carries him off into the forest. ( )
