Every volume of Science Comics offers a complete introduction to a particular topic-dinosaurs, coral reefs, the solar system, volcanoes, bats, flying machines, and more. These gorgeously illustrated graphic novels offer wildly entertaining views of their subjects. Whether you're a fourth grader doing a natural science unit at school or a thirty year old with a secret passion for airplanes, these books are for you!
This volume: In Bats, we follow a little brown bat whose wing is injured by humans on a nature hike. He is taken to a bat rehabilitation center where he meets many different species of bats. They teach him how they fly, what they eat, and where they like to live.
Review
Praise for the Science Comics series:
"This series-written by a handful of authors-seems determined to offer a useful introduction to anything a curious grade-school student might wonder about. The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words." -New York Times
"Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome!" -Popular Science
Praise for Science Comics: Bats:
"The writing is accessible and engaging, and the level of content is detailed enough for young researchers, but casual browsers and graphic novel enthusiasts will find this an attractive choice, too." -School Library Journal, starred review
"With plenty of informative back matter, this inviting, engaging nonfiction comic is perfect for kids hungry for science." -Booklist
"Neatly drawn illustrations." -Kirkus
