The Bat-Poet
by Randall Jarrell
illustrated by Maurice Sendak
This enchanting book tells the story of a little brown bat who is unable to sleep during the day. He keeps waking up and looking at the world. Soon, he begins to see life differently from the other bats. Through his poems, the bat tries to persuade the other bats to see the world his way.
