Here’s another that I’ve already reviewed as digital, reminder about how fun it is and can now confirm, this hefty tome would make an excellent gift for a curios child! Weird, wacky, and wonderful.

In the right hands, this could be a wildly successful storytime book. The listener has to supply the sounds in the busy spreads. The book starts slowly, with letters to help with sounds , ramping up to symbols only. The illustrations are detailed, so may best be used with a small group.

The illustrations here might seem like the star of the show, and they are truly spectacular, moving across the pages in flying black wings, red eyes, and lovely skies. The text is poetic and informative, accompanied by several pages of crow behaviour that extend the lesson. Stunner!

An old man who was sullen and crusty
Always snarled that his knees were too #rusty
To venture outside:
"All that wind? Can't abide!
So I must stay indoors where it's dusty."

Happy Sunday!
A crow cawed with probable cause,
Far below someone’s breaking his laws,
Like sniffing a tree
Or barking with glee;
Crow thinks he is due some applause.

Tom wrestled with LED lights
Suspended at towering heights
With talons a-freezing
He couldn't help sneezing
Tom feared this could lead to last rites!
