Official synopsis Publisher
An enthusiastic bat tries to be the perfect host for a human family in this laugh-out-loud, charming picture book perfect for fans of Penelope Rex, Gustavo the Shy Ghost, and Jory John!
Beverley the Bat loves having guests at his big, old house—or he would, if anyone ever stopped by. Then one day a human family moves in. Beverley rolls out the welcome mat by filling the house with eau de rotten egg (Grandma’s favorite), cooking delicious Bolognese de millipede for dinner, and thoughtfully shredding the clothes the family brought to make comfy nests.
But for some reason the humans don’t seem to appreciate Beverley’s gestures. How can the little bat become the host with the most?
