Inhaltsangabe

A
funny and amazing story based on a real-life crow from renowned naturalist and
Newbery Medal-winning author Jean Craighead George, with illustrations from
long-time collaborator Wendell Minor. Twig George and T. Luke George have provided
up-to-date research for this stunning picture book by their mother.


A young
boy finds a baby crow abandoned, cold and hungry. He takes him home, hoping to
nurse him back to health. His Grandpa disapproves—he thinks that crows are
pests and thieves! The boy knows that the crow he names “Crowbar” is capable of
learning more than how to eat, caw, and fly. But can he prove it?


As
Crowbar grows, the boy teaches him how to speak and Crowbar teaches the boy
just how clever crows can be. With his innate intelligence, Crowbar will show
he is smarter than anyone could imagine.

This beautiful new picture book from the author of My Side of the Mountain, Julie of the Wolves, and many other beloved books will be welcomed by young naturalists.
