Crow

With the publication of CROW, The Bank Street Press makes its debut into the world of children's books. This new paperback features the ever-flappable-unflappable Corvus brachyrhynchos making a major breakthrough & having the time of his life. The antics of a crow that loves to walk have been conceived & realized by illustrator Harry Bertschmann & writer Mary York Sampson. In this happy collaboration, they have combined joyful, bold illustrations with a simple, easy-to-read text. Mischievous & fun, CROW will walk right into the hearts of young juveniles everywhere. The review of CROW in THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD has this to say: "...The concept is sublimely simple: Crow is a strong-minded critter who decides flying is for the birds & sets out to try walking...on stilts, on a cactus, on a birthday cake, on a nose, between the flowers, on ice, in the paint, on the cat, & so on, getting sillier & sillier in a way that will have kids clamoring to join in. The black & white line drawings are equally imitable."Sampson, Mary Y. is the author of 'Crow' with ISBN 9780935505054 and ISBN 0935505059.
