This newly discovered book by Dr. Seuss is about a brother and sister’s visit to the pet store to pick a pet . . . which one will they choose?

Division 10 knows that a bat would not make a good pet.  We learned a lot about bats.  Here’s what some of the children said:

• Bats are nocturnal animals.  They are awake at night and sleep during the day.  We need to sleep when it’s dark.
• Bats live in colonies.  They like to hang out with other bats.  They would not like to be alone.
• Bats are built for flying.  They use echolocation to catch bugs and avoid objects in the sky.  They should not live inside.
• Bats eat a lot of insects.  How could we get enough food for them to eat?
• Bats are wild animals.  They might bite if they get scared.

Great problem solving, Division 10!
