Robotic Bat


Several years ago I went to one of my favorite spots in central Florida. Located in Citrus Wildlife Management Area just North and East of Brooksville. After arriving I located a bat in one of the larger caves, plucked it from the roof of the cave, and took the photo above of the feisty little critter clutched in my grubby hand. A few years after captureing the image I uploaded it to a stock exchange site. Still a couple of years more and I received an email expressing an interest in publishing the image in a children’s book! Well yesterday copies of the completed book arrived a part of the compensation for the image usage.


Wow what fun to see my little image in a very well designed book. There was even a toy robotic bat bundled with the book how cool is that?


This book is quite a production and is full of facts and illustrations about all things bat.


You can bet I had that bat assembled in the next twenty minutes.


Here is the page with my grubby hand and the bat!

Thank you Mr. Roff of becker&mayer publishing for all the fun and excitement!You folks are a class act!

Here it is at amazon!
