An energetic Mexican free-tailed bat named Bo takes children on an adventure across Texas and deep into the nocturnal world of bats. He educates readers about the importance of these mammals to the great Lone Star State with fun-to-know trivia. From San Antonio to Austin and across the Mexican border, Bo flies high above and fascinates readers with his "bat facts."
More than 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats live beneath the Congress Avenue Bridge in downtown Austin, making the city the largest urban bat colony in North America. Baby bats are called pups, and adults fly and hunt using echolocation. Bats are important to the environment, as Bo tells young readers. They help control insect populations, especially mosquitoes. In a single night, one bat may eat close to its own body weight in bugs. Across Texas, there are thirty-two different kinds of bats, but by far, Bo is the most interesting of all.
