After Stelaluna, a baby bat, falls head-first into a bird’s nest she is raised with birds until she is reunited with her mother. I read this book as a child, and it deals with everything from teasing to self-image. Stelaluna is a well written children’s story with beautifully colored pictures that help illustrate the struggles of the little bat. This book has stuck with me since childhood and is a wonderful book to share with other kids.
Not sure why, but this remains one of my favorite Kurt Vonnegut novels. It's certainly not one of his best books, but I've always had a soft spot for everybody's favorite volunteer fireman.
I sat in my room and read this book in one day. I could not put it down; whenever I closed the book I opened it back up because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. This is a GREAT read.
