Synopsis

All the young wild animals think Bat is mad. How can she say a tree has the trunk at the top and the leaves at the bottom? Until, that is, they consult wise Owl who suggests that if they just try looking at things from Bat's point of view, they might see thing very differently.

Media Reviews
An innovative picture book for children that is great fun to read aloud. -- Tinners Rabbit Bookshop * Independent on Sunday *
Jeanne Willis and Tony Ross won't let you down * Independent on Sunday *
A good book to share with a group and could be used as part of the PSHCE curriculum. * Write Away *
Appeals to everyone's sense of humour * Books for Keeps *
Readers old enough to 'twig' the mismatch in perception between bat and the others before being confronted with the pages of upside down print will revel in the sustained joke with the author * Books for Keeps *
