Free Bat Rider books for kids during Read-an-E-Book Week

March 4, 2012 - PRLog -- Sixteen Bat Rider titles are available from the website Smashwords.com. During the week of March 4 - 10 2012, you may have the very first Bat Rider book for free. The book is called 'Bat Rider and the Cave of Oomba' and it tells the exciting story of how Matthew John braved the Bat Cave and met for the first time his bat Bulmer, and learned to fly on the bat's back. The story is available in Spanish as well as English. The name of the book in Spanish is "El Jinete Murcielago y la Cueva de Oomba.' The Spanish version is free, too.

This is the same Bat Rider tale that was turned into an eight-part audio serial by Siri Arnet at Podiobooks.com. You can listen to it for free there if you want to hear the bats squeaking!

Illustrated  Bat Rider books are also on sale at Amazon.com this week, both in Kindle versions and as regular paperback books of 156 pages.

An independent review of Bat Rider has just been published by The Midwest Book Review. The reviewer writes that 'Matthew John and his bat Bulmer have many fascinating and unusual adventures, even enlisting the unlikely help of of Kiti, a kitten who transforms into a tiger cub.'
