I think most people I know are familiar with this gorgeous book. It is the story of a baby bat that get separated from her mother. Exhausted, she falls into a nest full of baby birds. The mother bird allows Stellaluna to stay, provided she acts like a good little bird. Stellaluna tries, she really does, but she can't. She can't eat any more worms. Even though she promised not to hang by her feet, she can't get comfortable any other way. One day she leave the birds and finds other animals like her. Stellaluna goes home with the bats and finds her mother at last. She returns to show the birds her new home and they are happy to remain close friends.
Audience
Anyone old enough to handle a paper book. The illustrations are engrossing and the story of finding parents is one any child will relate to. I think adults will be touched by it as well
Cautions
None that I can think of
