Bats: Learning to Fly #[nn]

Part of First Second's "Get to Know Your Universe!" Science Comics series, this 2017 volume by Falynn Koch zeroes in on one of nature's most fascinating fliers. The cover sets the mood perfectly: a cheerful, wide-winged bat soars toward the viewer against a dusky twilight sky, while a whole colony of its upside-down companions roosts from the branches above. It's the kind of all-ages nonfiction comics that makes learning feel like an adventure.
