About This Book

An elderly, mischievous crow who lives in Pleasant Valley provokes neighbors with noisy, thieving antics while also helping by eating crop pests; the narrative unfolds as a sequence of short, comic episodes in which his boldness, absent-mindedness, and vanity lead to humorous predicaments—accusations of outlawry, lost eggs, a troublesome spotted coat whose buttons prove curious, and encounters with squirrels, raccoons, and other woodland creatures. Each chapter offers a self-contained misadventure that balances gentle lessons and slapstick moments, showing community reactions, unlikely friendships, and the bird's roguish resilience.
