Publisher Description:
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"
