Thanks to Pan Macmillan Australia for a copy of Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat for me and the kids to review. Yes I thought it was really cute! I can't wait until my son is just a little bit older I am certain that he is going to love it! Onto the bookshelf it goes! Would I recommend Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat? He also was a bit afraid when I threatened to send him to the School of Kids who only eat plain pasta. Figures that the dinosaur obsessed child who can watch dinosaurs tear apart each other can be afraid of a story with a pig in a classroom! Unless there are pictures on every page his attention span is about the size of a goldfish! Also he told me it was a bit scary. Although he is nearly 5, he isn't quite up to these sorts of books yet. Unfortunately it was a little advanced for my son. What did my kids think of Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat? There was a choose your own adventure story which took me back to my childhood! There was everything from a zoo in a classroom to a parrot that thought he was a chicken! My personal favourite was Dreamo Machino about a dream machine! This was such a cute book!
