Product Description

The Bat Jamboree was held early this year, at the old drive-in movie not too far from here. It was standing room only as the houselights went down. The spotlight came up -- there wasn't a sound! Then:

1 bat sang.
2 bats flapped.
3 bats cha-cha-ed
4 bats tapped.

Every year a troupe of 55 buoyant bats comes up with 10 fabulous acts to entertain and instruct an enthusiatic audience. And every year the bats top themselves when they perform the grandest finale of all . . .

With its exuberant text and enchanting illustrations, Bat Jamboree is both a counting book and a thrilling theatrical event.

Excellent, colorful book that emphasis the friendliness of bats while also teaching counting through repetition in story and rhyme. The fun and funny illustrations make it a must for bat lovers of all ages.


5 out of 5 stars A fun rhyming story about bats   November 18, 2007

I loved this story because it was funny, and original. The rhyming and counting were fun for my students and the ending was clever. I like it when I can include musical stories into my teaching.


3 out of 5 stars Rhyming?   November 10, 2001
2 out of 5 found this review helpful

This book was very cute which is why I gave it such a high rating. This book is a poor example of how to rhyme. There are several lines in this book that are close to rhyming but it isn't quite there in several instances. Good for teaching counting up and backwards from ten.

As a third grade teacher, I found this book useful on the 55th day of school. After reading the book, the children made a pyramid using manipulatives for the bats. We used 1" tiles. This demonstrates a growing pattern using +1 pattern to grow with. This is a nice lead-in to multiplication.


5 out of 5 stars Great Book for introducing children to counting and adding   July 11, 2000

This book has a fun and exciting story line. Children will have fun reading about the 55 bats at the jamboree. The illustrations are colorful and eye-catching. Children can have fun counting, adding and subtracting the 55 bats at the Bat Jamboree. Watch out for the Bat Lady!
