A review by crowyhead
Crow Not Crow by Jane Yolen, Adam Stemple

5.0

I've been doing some reading lately about the ways people who are not regularly exposed to nature have become blind to the differences in the denizens of the natural world, unable to tell the difference between animals and plants. Yolen's book strikes a friendly blow against this blindness by telling the story of a young girl who learns to differentiate between birds by first learning to identify crows. It's a simple story, told poetically, that also serves as a perfect introduction to birdwatching.

Notes on representation: The little girl and her father appear to be Asian.
