Stellaluna is a thick and big board book, compared to other board books for toddlers. The book measures 7.5x7.5x0.75 inches and has 42 pages. It is a board book but it is not a board book for babies. It is more for older children because there is a lot of writing in it even though there are also many pictures. Every other page has a picture. The book is by Janell Cannon and it is an award winning book.

My kids did not like the look of the bat at first but the story grew on them and by the end of the book, they loved Stellaluna! They thought she was so cute!

At the back cover it says: When a little bat gets separated from her mother, she learns a big lesson about friendship in the unlikeliest of places. Now enjoy this beloved tale in a boar book edition, adapted for sharing with little ones.

Story of Stellaluna

This is a story book about a mother fruit bat and her new baby which she named Stellaluna. In the beginning of the book, little baby Stellaluna was separated from her mother. The rest of the book was about her adventure to get back to her mom. The bat can look weird at first for toddlers but the story is beautiful and very heart warming. Even though the baby bat was lost and could not find her way home, she survived with the help of her new friends and family, a mama bird and her babies.

The story is beautiful because Stellaluna tried to live a life like a bird, sleeping at night, eating insects and sleeping in the nest. She did nothing like a bat should and the baby birds even tried to be like Stellaluna at one point, hanging upside down etc. In the end, the little bat was reunited with her mom and brought the birds home to meet her family. Even though birds and bats are so different, they could be friends.
