Industry Reviews
"The lucid free verse tells the elemental nature drama, and Marks' beautiful double-page watercolors with delicate ink details are equally effective at depicting the expansive blue sky and the tiny, furry brown baby, along and then cuddled up safely at last."
(06/01/2006)
"Markle successfully presents the astonishing world of Bracken Cave...Marks's watercolor artwork is amazingly detailed--close-ups of the animals are lifelike, while wider-angle views give a realistic impression of the huge numbers of bats in the cave...[T]his is a must for every nonfiction collection and bat fan."

"Markle sugarcoats nothing, least of all the predator-prey relationships...Many scenes glow with an almost translucent effect from the moon...[An] informative, moving nature exploration."
