Bookroo's summary

Explore the intriguing world of crows, where their 'caw' is just one of many sounds used to communicate. Delve into their complex behaviors and survival tactics, revealing the intelligence behind these often-overlooked birds. With vivid illustrations, uncover the mysteries of one of nature's smartest creatures and see why there's nothing common about the common crow.

From the publisher

You see them feeding along the sides of roads or flying to the tops of trees. They are known as common crows, but there is nothing common about them. The familiar sound of caw, caw, caw is just one of at least twenty-five distinct sounds crows make in order to communicate with one another. Laurence Pringle examines these remarkable creatures in a fact-filled text that explores how crows talk, behave, and survive. With beautifully detailed illustration by Bob Marstall, young readers get a fascinating look into the world of one of the smartest birds on earth in this winner of the John Burroughs Nature Books for Young Readers Award.
