Crows are all around us, shouting from lamp posts, poking around on lawns, and generally taking a bright-eyed interest in everything that moves. But most of us don't know much about their lives. In How to Know a Crow, award-winning author Candace Savage invites us into the fascinating world of these big, brash, and surprisingly brainy birds.

With How to Know a Crow, uncover the answers to questions such as:
Do crows have families?How do crows communicate with one another?Do crows play?How can we interact with them?Featuring gorgeous illustrations from Rachel Hudson, How to Know a Crow is a memorable journey of discovery.
