Bookroo's summary

Coyote, ever the trickster, yearns to soar like the crows. He convinces them to teach him, but his boasting soon wears thin. The crows, fed up with his antics, decide to teach him a lesson he won't forget. Will Coyote's ambition lead to his downfall, or will he find a way to outsmart the clever birds? Discover the chaos that ensues when Coyote's dreams take flight.
