The Little Bat

KIDS STORIES
About this episode

It's almost Halloween and here at Land of Nod its one of our favourite times of the year! Here in Ireland, the weather is crisp and dry and all the leaves are falling from the trees! As the nights get darker and longer, it's the perfect time of year to hear a story about creatures who spend almost all of their lives in the dark- because it's where they feel most at home! The little bat in our story today just doesn't want to go to bed! He has been out hunting with his family all night and just when he should be curling up with his siblings in their cosy cave, he begins to feel very adventurous indeed! Find out what happens when this little fellow ignores good advice and strikes out on his own- how will he fare in the daylight!? This gorgeous little yales wraps up season 4 of storytelling here at the Land of Nod! We will be back with you very shortly to bring you a whole new season of tremendous tale-telling! Thanks to each and every one of you for supporting our show!
