Summary: Stellaluna is about a baby bat, named Stellaluna. Stellaluna’s mother was attacked by an owl, and the baby bat is knocked out of her arms and fell into a birds nest. The mother bird began to take care of the bird like he is her own, even though they both know he is very different.
Personal rating and reason for rating: **** Good. A very good story, great read aloud. Children generally enjoy seeing how peaceful bats can really be.
Reading level: 3.5
Interest level: k-3
Possible uses of the text in integrated units of study (reading and writing across the curriculum): Would be great to use this book around Halloween, to go along with a nocturnal animal unit. Also great bat or bird science lesson, and have children make a Venn diagram and compare bats from birds.
Potential Problems or Difficulties: I don’t see any problems or difficulties.
