The latest, updated edition of a teacher and classroom favorite with two brand new illustrations and spotlights on vanishing species and how we can help. Perfect for budding scientists, environmentalists, and nature lovers.

Her clear narrative shows the threats these bats face, and updated informative sidebars describe a variety of efforts to save them.
