Critic Reviews

A gorgeously designed nonfiction picture book with fascinating text and dynamic illustrations, effortlessly conveying corvid charisma. -- Imogen Russell Williams The Guardian
…a picture book as intelligent as its subject—though a good deal more sophisticated-looking, thanks to the muted palette and distempered quality of Olivia Lomenech Gill’s mixed-media artwork… a fine work of nonfiction. The Wall Street Journal
A fascinating introduction to a bird that may not have a beautiful song or lovely plumage but certainly repays careful observation – perhaps making use of the great suggestions provided for class or home. Lovereading4kids
Who would have thought that crows would have the power to captivate but that is just what they do in this unusual non-fiction nature book… Olivia Lomenech Gill’s mixed media illustrations are realistic yet have something of a magical quality about them and in combination with the words, offer young readers a wonderful and wondrous introduction to crows. Red Reading Hub
Chris Butterworth has gathered together some fascinating facts about these birds which she presents in an entirely accessible, almost story-like style and Olivia Lomenech Gill’s illustrations are almost like miniature watercolours, each one incredibly detailed, buzzing with energy and life.
