Bats in the Band

by Brian Lies

The symphonious companion to Brian Lies’s bestselling bat books series where the Bats take a break from the Beach, the Library, and the Ballgame to strike up the band, celebrate, and share music. A must-have addition to a child's first rhythmic and rhyming picture book library.



The look on our faces is easy to read:
a little night music is just what we need!

A late-spring night sky fills with bats flocking to a theater, already echoing and booming with delightful sounds of music. Bat music—plunky banjoes, bat-a-tat drums, improvised instruments, country ballads, and the sweet cries of a bat with the blues.

Join this one-of-a-kind music festival as the bats celebrate the rhythm of the night, and the positive power of music. Brian Lies’s newest celebration of bats and their dazzling, dizzying world will lift everyone’s spirits with joyous noise and cheer!

"Again with the bats, evoking another call of "encore!"


"This latest adventure will enchant children, who will want to hear it, read it, and relive it over and over again."
