NEW BILINGUAL CHILDREN'S BOOK
Running with the Bats / Corriendo con los murciélagos
The bats are coming!
They’re flying this way
At about dusk
When I finish my play.
Look up in the sky!
They’re not far away.
The bats are coming
At the end of the day.
They’re the hunting bats
Out chasing their prey.
Look! See them come.
Don’t run away.
As you read this book,
You’ll be sure to say,
“I’m
Running with the Bats.
Get out of the way!”
Coming This March!
