What is Scaredy Bat about?

Little Bat cannot sleep as morning arrives in the Dark, Dark Wood. When Big Bat and Middle Bat tease him for being afraid of the light, he leaves the old oak tree to prove them wrong. At first, the daylight is full of wonderful sights and swooping adventures. But then Little Bat senses something following him. Could it be the mysterious Bogey Bat? This playful, rhyming story follows Little Bat as he faces his fears and discovers that bravery can be found in surprising places.
