From the day we received Crow Made a Friend by Margaret Peot in the mail, the book has captivated my preschooler Had the author chosen to make the crow black, as they are in real life, this book never would have received the love and attention from my child The rainbow crow, bright and vibrant, dances off the page and compliments the simplistic words, making it a great read for any emergent reader.I have read this book to my little girl enough times, at her request, so that she has the book memo [...]

Watercolor and pen and ink illustrations carry much of this story as a lonely crow tries to make friends, literally His first attempt, with twigs and leaves, is blown away His second attempt, with snow, melts in the sun Wait, what is that cawing sound Another crow Soon Crow is building a nest and now he doesn t have to be lonely because he has a family This is a very simple, yet heart warming story that has a wonderful feeling of optimism throughout Even Crow s feathers are awash with colors The [...]

This book in the I Like to Read series is a welcomed refreshment from other K 1st stories because of it s interesting and surprising plot twist Crow is as creative as he is beautifully multicolored in building friends to keep him company, but each one cannot face up to changes in weather Until he meets a new friend rather than creating one Each page has one to two sentences in large font against a white background Young readers will be surprised by the ending, and will feel the satisfaction of r [...]

There is a certain magic in children s books that a crow can be rainbow colored and can use his wings and beak to make a friend out of twigs, leaves, or snow The wind and the sun take away these friends but another rainbow crow appears and soon there is a nest with baby birds It is great to let young children read this simple text and delight in the colorful image of this bird However, don t get mixed up with reality or it could be a little hard to answer any why or how questions that might come [...]

Crow is lonely, but has a plan Crow will make a friend Using natural objects available during each of the changing seasons Crow crafts a bird before finally making a live friend and then starting a family.This story is really interesting and helps build early reading skills Pen and ink watercolor artwork I liked that Crow was depicted as having rainbow coloring Recommended for PreK 3.
