All the young wild animals think Bat is mad. How can she say a tree has the trunk at the top and the leaves at the bottom Until, that is, they consult wise Owl who suggests that if they just try looking at things from Bat's point of view, they might see thing very differently.

"Appeals to everyone's sense of humour" * Books for Keeps *
"Readers old enough to 'twig' the mismatch in perception between bat and the others before being confronted with the pages of upside down print will revel in the sustained joke with the author" * Books for Keeps *
