Raschka, Chris. Little Black Crow, 40pgs. Richard Jackson Books, Atheneum, 2010. $16.99. Language-G; Violence-G; Sexual Content-G. Inside cover: “A sky as big as all outdoors, a fence, one boy, one little black crow, his family, and twenty-seven questions- what more does a book of wonder ever need?” Incredible! Wonderful storyline and illustrations. We loved this book! It is not only heartwarming, but could be used as a springboard for so many discussions about life and emotions, inside the classroom and at home. EL-3, El. ESSENTIAL. Reviewer: SL
