This is not one of my favorite books, but I did enjoy the message from the story. It is a good story about the battle of wills between a crow and a little girl. I like the rhyming text. Children would enjoy the noises that can be repeated during a read aloud.

Emma must get her mom's keys back from a crow who thinks he is clever. This is a funny book about a crow, probably best for children just starting elementary school, as very young children might not understand it. Parents can talk about whether they think the crow is just having fun, or if he is being mean. ( )
