You see them feeding along the sides of roads or flying to the tops of trees. They are known as common crows, but there is nothing common about them. The familiar sound of "caw, caw, caw" is just one of at least twenty-five distinct sounds crows make in order to communicate with one another. Laurence Pringle examines these remarkable creatures in a fact-filled text that explores how crows talk, behave, and survive. With beautifully detailed illustration by Bob Marstall, young readers get a fascinating look into the world of one of the smartest birds on earth in this winner of the John Burroughs Nature Books for Young Readers Award. Review: Crows - Excellent book for children (or adults) awaken to the fascination of birds, especially crows. A!! Information is accurate and the illustrations are beautiful and enhance the text. Review: A Crow Primer - When I ordered this book I did not realize it was for children. I was attracted by the wonderful cover picture of a crow. Discovering that it is for children didn't bother me at all, since I love children's books as much as I love crows. This one is delightful in it's description of the intelligence, personality and habits of crows. Children will enjoy learning about their playful antics and their ability to solve problems, use tools and adapt to a variety of environments. I highly recommend this book to parents, children and anyone who loves birds.

A great book for kids
Crows are cool and everyone should learn about them, especially children. This is a nicely illustrated children's book with beautiful artwork and very interesting and educational information about these willy birds. Caw, Caw, Caw! Buy this book for your child, you will also enjoy reading it.

Crows are extremely intelligent although most people find them annoying
Crows/ravens to most people think they are only scavengers. But once you start to watch them, they are very social and are very family oriented. This book is moe for a juvenile entertainment but adults can also enjoy.

A good intro to crows..
Anything crow is good in my world! This is a very nice book for kids or others who enjoy those raucous critters! Illustrations are well done and clearly by someone who knows crows pretty well.

Nicely illustrated!
The book is short in terms of pages (32 pages) and gives basic knowledge about crows. Beautifully illustrated it is more oriented for kids (in my opinion) but can be appreciated by adults.
