This book describes how crows meet, mate, nest, raise their young, learn to fly, and their unique way of communicating. Highly intelligent birds, they are known to roost in large numbers in Fall and Winter for safety, protection from the weather, and to find a mate. Young crows start to fledge when they are 30-40 days old, often tumbling to the ground when their flying skills are still not developed. Mature crows will then surround them and caw incessantly to keep predators away from their young. Their language is unique and not entirely understood by scientists. This is an introduction to the natural history of crows for children and includes a brief discussion of the difference between crows and ravens, as well as other members of the crow family such as magpies and jays.

Industry Reviews

A brightly illustrated story perfect for the very beginner reader. -- "Kirkus, Starred Review" In the well-composed ink-and-watercolor artwork, the unexpectedly brilliant hue of Crow's feathers glow against the many white backgrounds. A short, satisfying read-aloud choice with an inviting jacket and pictures that show up beautifully from a distance. -- "Booklist" Peot's enthusiasm is contagious and her ideas about using images to develop creativity are intriguing... this book is likely to make teachers and artists catch the inkblot bug. -- "School Library Journal"
