Bill the Bat loved Halloween. It was the funniest thing that he had ever seen. The kids dressed up like ghouls and ghosts. The boy called Nixon scared him the most. Bill spent the night, just flying around. To get a good look, he had to swoop down. The kids would all scream and scatter away. “A bat, a bat!” he heard them all say. Someone started a rumor some years ago, let me think, let me think, now how did it go? A bat could swoop down and get caught in your hair. In your hair he would nest and his kids would live there. It is the silliest story. A bat would much rather be asleep in someone’s attic or in a cave by the sea. But whatever the reasons, the kids like to run and at this time of year, to Bill this was fun. He set himself down on the branch of a tree, to rest for a second and what did he see? |

-- Kirkus Reviews calls Bill the Bat Loves
Halloween "[a] fast- moving, fun rhyming
picture book"! "Bill is a curious bat who loves
Halloween and watching trick-or-treaters. The
little ghouls and goblins run away when he
swoops in for a closer look, but Bill is
undaunted. He keeps following them until he
takes a broom to the head. . .. Veteran
children's author Cobb . . . follows up Bill the
Bat Finds his Way Home (2007) with a
seasonal story about the flying mammal. His
rhythms and rhymes . . . read naturally and . . .
Pentangelo's colorful illustrations fill the page
with movement and detail. Glowing golds and
yellows against a deep-blue night sky evoke
the Halloween nights of our childhoods. Bill
himself is a curiously goggle-eyed guy with a
toothy grin and big ears that give him
personality." -- Kirkus Reviews
