About this listen

Dexter and the Bat is a heartwarming children's book that tells the enchanting story of an unlikely friendship between Dexter, a lovable rescue dog, and Skyler, a playful bat. Dexter, a mix of Blue Heeler and Border Collie, is full of energy and curiosity. One night, he becomes fascinated by bats flying in the evening sky and soon forms a special bond with one particular bat named Skyler.

Together, Dexter and Skyler embark on nightly adventures, chasing and playing under the stars. Their unique friendship shows that kindness and connection can bloom in the most unexpected ways, even across different species.

As the seasons change, Skyler falls ill, and Dexter, ever gentle and loyal, helps her find healing with the help of his caring owners. But when Dexter’s own health begins to fade, the story turns tender, showing how deep friendships can last beyond a lifetime.

Inspired by true events, Dexter and the Bat teaches children the value of empathy, loyalty, and the beauty of animal friendships. Filled with heartfelt moments, this story captures the joy and sorrow that come with loving and caring for others. Perfect for young readers aged 4-8, Dexter and the Bat will touch the hearts of animal lovers and families alike.
