Gr 2–4— Daniel, Talia, Birdgirl, and the titular Megabat are back for their sixth outing. Valentine's Day is on the horizon, and Megabat is eager to deliver the most incredible gift to his beloved Birdgirl. Daniel, meanwhile, is focused on earning his Sharing and Caring Bird Scouts badge. A series of comical miscalculations by Daniel and Megabat lead to humorous outcomes. For instance, Daniel's pursuit of his badge is paused when Alton, a younger Bird Scout left in his group's charge, wanders off, only to be later discovered helping himself to the dessert trolley. Megagbat, meanwhile, creates a variety of thoughtful gifts for Birdgirl, including redecorating her nest and a nature-inspired card, both of which go immediately awry. The duo soon realizes the importance of considering the wants and needs of others in order to achieve their goals, allowing for much more desirable outcomes. Megabat's unique way of speaking ("Mine alsowise wants to play sticky mint-tens") may take some getting used to for readers new to the series. Audiences are sure to enjoy the friendship shared among Daniel, Talia, the animals, and newcomer Alton, as well as the important lessons they learn. Black-and-white illustrations are featured throughout the book, capturing the hilarious and snow-covered high jinks of Megabat and company as they pursue their goals. VERDICT Recommended for purchase where the series is popular.— Olivia Gorecke
