[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Nielsen, Virginia._Batty Hattie_,1999 [0-7614-5047-5]
Harriet's single parent mom gets a chance of a lifetime to tour with
a dixieland band for a year so Harriet ends up living with her single
Uncle who is a scientist studying bats in an old mining town.
Harriet has trouble making friends and the kids tease her calling
her Hattie living with batman and eventually Batty Hattie.  One
night her Uncle takes her to the cave and makes her promise not
to touch bats but Harriet secretly brings back a baby one and
feeds it for three weeks. She eventually brings it to school for a
science project and gets everyone mad at her.  At the end her bat
is released to the wild and she makes some new friends.  In the
process of reading this cute 142 page book, the reader learns a lot
about bats but that never overpowers the story.
