A clever crow's creations vanish, but perseverance leads to a real friend.
Crow, feeling lonely, crafts friends from leaves and snow, only to lose them to nature's whims. Undeterred, he hears the call of a real bird. Together, they build a nest, and by summer, Crow finds himself with a family. This heartwarming tale celebrates the power of perseverance and the joy of true companionship.
Try, try again is the lesson Crow teaches beginning readers in this picture book reader. Crow was all alone. But like all crows, he was very clever. Using autumn leaves for wings, sticks for the body and a crab apple for the head, Crow made a friend! But winter winds blew in, destroying his creation. Undaunted, Crow fashioned another bird friend out of snow but could not prevent it from melting in the warm spring sun. Alone again, Crow heard the caw, caw, caw of a real, live bird. Together they built a nest and by summer, Crow had a family. This warm, satisfying story celebrates perseverance and ingenuity. An I Like to Read(R) book. Guided Reading Level D.
