Review Detail

Clever Crow is an informational read that would be great for young people with an interest in birds or the natural world.

Chris Butterworth has gathered some fascinating facts about crows, presenting them in an entirely accessible, almost story-like style giving readers the opportunity to look closely at this creature, seeing how they interact with the world around them. The text is clear, encouraging, and assessable (in several different sizes), giving just enough information to tempt the reader to learn more on their own.

I am in love with Olivia Lomenech Gill’s illustrations. They've got an almost watercolor look to them and capture movement well. My children loved the spread with the crows sliding down the snowy roof!

Clever Crow is a nice gift to do to young nature lovers, but also to crows (and corvids) lovers who would want to enjoy the illustrations.
