Defying Mama Bat's orders, Bailey sneaks out of their hollow tree to follow a mournful cry coming from somewhere deep in the forest.
The sun is up and it's time for bed, but Bailey the Bat just can't sleep! Bailey discovers a young bull moose tangled up in an old fence. On one side of the fence, hunters roam. On the other side, a wolf pack is hunting. Both parties are looking for an easy dinner. Can a tiny brown bat save a big tangled moose?
A debut picture book from award-winning radio host and journalist Grant Lawrence, Bailey the Bat and the Tangled Moose is a suspenseful story and the perfect adventure for children moving towards early chapter books. Fully illustrated and longer than a standard picture book, this is an excellent choice for newly emergent readers.
Available in French as Charlie la chauve-souris et l'orignal mal pris.

Noémie Gionet Landry grew up in a small coastal town in New-Brunswick, Canada, surrounded by the ocean. Growing up, she wanted to become either a doctor or a children's book illustrator. Midway through medical school, she decided she would do both. She now splits her time between the hospital, where she works as a rheumatologist, and her home studio, where she sketches, draws and paints. She lives in Moncton, New Brunswick with her wife and son.
