This is a “make a circle around”  book. It’s supposed to bring old fashion folk telling to modern story times. This story is about a bat that wants to join one of the two baseball teams. One is filled with birds and one is filled with mammals. Bat does not fit. Eventually the two teams learn that the bat has a purpose. I like the illustrations in this book. They are different from modern norms. This folktale hails from Native American indigenous  peoples, and that is felt in the artwork. Overall, the book works but it’s not one I would gravity gravitate towards again and again
