About the Author
Reviews
"...a great way to introduce the concepts of birding." -- MOTHER/DAUGHTER BOOKCLUB
"Jane Yolen is one of the best picture book authors alive, so I was particularly pleased that this book did not disappoint me. Like most of her books, it is quiet and has a powerful force behind it. It lends itself to a 'crow not crow' type of game with children that would be quite fun. I will be purchasing this book as a gift for several friends. It's beautifully done." -- UNLEASHING READERS
"I loved Crow Not Crow as a mother, as a birding novice and as a teacher. This is the perfect book to use for a STEM science lesson for the classroom or even as an interactive library lesson for small group discussions. Once you finish the story, the last 5 pages are filled with bird facts and QR codes!" -- I'D SO RATHER BE READING.COM
"A father and daughter go out birding. At first she feels intimidated: Her brothers all go birding with their father, and they can easily tell birds apart. To the girl, however, they all look similar: 'wings, beak, and legs.' Supplied with a pair of binoculars, she starts to find it easier to notice their characteristics. First to be spotted is the crow, 'as black as a night without any moon or stars.' Once she has identified and "owned" the crow, she can see a red-winged blackbird and know that it is not a crow. She becomes more attuned to the shape, size, and markings of different birds by this method of 'Crow Not Crow.' Descriptions and photos of all the birds illustrated are included in two spreads at the end, with QR codes for listening to their songs. A solid choice for introducing the hobby to younger readers." -- KIRKUS REVIEWSEarn by promoting books
