Bats Big Game

The book Bats Big Game is retold by Margaret Read MacDonald and illustrated by Eugenia Nobati. This book is about a bat that wants to play soccer and always wants to win so he joins a team called the animals. The animals ask why he has wings but the bat responds “I might have wings but a bird would have feathers and a beak. So they let him on their team and was leading 2-0 against the Birds team. Owl was kicking the ball up the field and GOALLL! They finally started winning 2-3. So bat quickly took his jersey off and ran off into a bush and came back to play on the bird team because they were winning. So the bird team asked if he was just playing but Bat responded: “No I have wings just like you so how could I play on the animal team.”So they let bat play, later on, in the game they ended up loosing so bat was super sad that his team didn’t win. The two teams did not like bats desition so they kicked him off the team because even if you lose or win you should always stay by your team. I really liked this book because it gave a good message to have fun and don’t worry about winning. This book targets ages 7-12 because the illustrations are more for kids for lower ages, I would rate this book 7/10.
