Big Bird's at bat--and CRACK!--it's a fly ball out of the yard, past the playground, and through every page of this sporty board book. Toddlers' favorite game of peekaboo meets high action in a rollicking rhyme that will delight all terrible twos with a taste for trouble. Full-color illustrations.

Compares and contrasts the physical attributes, habits, and habitat of bats and birds.

A book about bats and birds.

Why does Monkey fear Leopard? Why does the Reed Warbler babble? How did Jabulani outwit the Lion? These and other intriguing questions are answered in When Bat was a Bird. Twenty four fresh and exciting stories feature memorable creatures both real and magical. Information boxes provide supporting information about the people, animals, reptiles, insects and birds of Africa. Over 90 full-colour illustrations bring the wealth and beauty of African wildlife alive for children. In his latest collection author Nick Greaves draws once more from the lore, mythology and history of various southern African tribes to relate a new collection of tales that is bound to become a firm favourite along with the highly successful When Hippo was Hairy, When Lion could Fly and When Elephant was King.

The Animals and Birds are getting ready for the big game. Bat wants to WIN. The Animals look strong and fast, so Bat picks that side. But when the Animals fall behind, Bat switches to the Bird team--doesn't a bat have wings? Maybe the Birds will win!
