Synopsis
Crows have a repertoire of over 20 different cries.
They can imitate the cries of other birds.
The American crow is one of the most intelligent bird species.
Some crows can reproduce several human words.
Reviews:
"The cartoony, snarky graphic novel format of Do You Know Crows? will appeal to many students' sense of humour and, along the way, they will learn dozens of interesting facts about the common crow. . .
"By the end of the book, students may develop a new respect and appreciation for the crow and just might begin to think differently about other creatures that don't fit into a simple paradigm of what is good, useful and beautiful."
Highly Recommended. ***1/2 /4
