Six Crows

Description:

The beloved farming fable from four-time Caldecott Honor winner Leo Lionni!

While a farmer tends his field of wheat, six hungry crows watch and wait in a nearby tree. When the wheat ripens, the farmer builds a scarecrow to frighten them off, but these ingenious crows are not so easily scared. Bringing this original fable to life with brilliant collages, Leo Lionni deftly draws parallels between animal and human behavior that children can readily appreciate. And once again he shows us that compromise can work magic.


Editorial Reviews

Review

“This enduring theme has a moral for young and adult alike, making it a perfect choice for parents to share with their children.” —Booklist

“This brief, simple story works on a literal level as well as on a metaphoric one. It is illustrated with Lionni’s usual handsome, colorful collages which project well for reading aloud to groups.” —
School Library Journal

I love the message in this book! The farmer and the crows desire the same thing. In this story, the characters struggle at first, but they choose to work together to solve their problem. It's a win-win! Leo Lionni writes stories that teach. I am a teacher, so I find myself coming back to his books again and again. His books are not new releases, but the pictures and the message are timeless! I think parents and children will enjoy what Lionni has to offer.

The pages are filled with very personable crows and the story provides a vehicle for discussing getting along and trying to understand another's point of view.

I’m only giving this book 3 stars, The storyline in this book is great. However, the condition of this book was horrible. The book looked like it had been used, perhaps wet and then sent to me very disappointed in the condition when I paid for a new book.
