Definitely not my cup of tea, because not only am I way too old for this book, but even my children are well over the age of the intended audience. At the same time, I find the plot quite funny and the idea of granny flipping around the house entertaining. Congrats with BOTD!

"Overall, this book is a delightful read, featuring an engaging and imaginative premise that captures the reader’s interest from the start. The colorful illustrations add a vibrant touch, and the dialogue-heavy writing makes the story accessible and enjoyable." My feelings exactly. I had a few giggles just repeating the title. Enjoyable book! Great review!

A simple and captivating bedtime story with vibrant illustrations and engaging dialogue. This whimsical nighttime adventure might sound appealing for children. But why a bat, though? I could imagine the horror every time a bat flew into our house and roamed around above our heads. Not so funny after all. Anyways, thank you for a nice review.

I love the theme of the story, a simple and magical tale aimed at the little ones in the house, where one very creatively tells his grandchildren about his adventures as a bat to entertain them and add a lot more fantasy to the common bedtime stories. An excellent proposal, good job #BOTD

Stories with a grandma flying at night are usually horror toned. It would be a nice read for children who have not been all convinced that bats, or flying at nighttime does not hold an evil connotation.
I love reading children stories though. They help me destress a lot from the complexity of the adult world. And what's more, this promises an adventurous read.
Congrats to the author on BOTD nomination.
You have a nice review up there as well.

I can say grandmother is taken care with her grand children very well, as we all know the night can be very cruel sometimes because other animals who are eating others are making their haunting during the night. This is why grandmother decided not to sleep during the night and flapp her wing's around the house, instead of sleeping. She done all this for protection of her grand children.

This book sounds like something my granddaughters would enjoy. They both have a vivid imaginations and like to pretend we are a family of witches with magical powers. They both live to read so this may be something for me to buy for my granddaughters. Thank you for the review. I could not get the free book because I am currently in the middle of another review but I would love to read it to my granddaughters.

The book shows the great love of two children have fir their grandmother, also their Nanna is a bat at night whis is flapping her wings and roaming around the house and the wonderful adventure that the children have with their nanna.
One of the most commendable aspects of the book is its illustrations. Additionally, they display lively movements and expressive facial features, enhancing the visual allure of the illustrations. This combination of text and imagery works harmoniously to enrich the narrative, resulting in a story that is both engaging and accessible.
