In this fresh and funny picture book from Geisel Honor-winning author/illustrator Paul Meisel, a lonely bat thinks he has found a perfect home–until he discovers that it’s already inhabited by a persnickety squirrel. Bat’s excited – he thinks he’s found a perfect new home. Except Squirrel already lives there! Since each is asleep during the other’s waking hours, the two begin exchanging notes. With these notes, Squirrel does her best to oust her unwelcome guest, but Bat misunderstands and thinks Squirrel is happy to have a new friend. This is a sweet opposites-attract friendship story that gently shows young readers how to find common ground despite outward differences.
