Crow Call Audiobook

" This is a good story, but it's the kind of book that makes me wonder, would a kid pick this up and read it? There's a lot going on here, though: dad coming home from war, father-daughter relationship, hunting.... Could generate some good discussion. I like that the little girl is conflicted over hunting the crows. And I like how the dad is sensitive to her conflicting thoughts. The illustrations are beautiful: done by the same guy who did the illustrations for The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. "

" This was a very well-written story. It gives a different historical perspective on living after WWII, that of a girl coming to know her father after his long absence while he was away as a soldier. "

" Really sweet story. Beautiful illustrations. "

" Such a beautiful story about a girl and her father. "

" Love Lois Lowry. Wonderful book. Universal theme. "

" I love Lois Lowry. This is a great book to teach "small moments" in a writer's workshop. Just lovely. "

" What an amazing illustrator! "

" This book would be great to use in a first grade classroom when talking about the lives of certain animals and why they do the things they do. We can compare and contrast what animals abandon their young, like the crows, and what animals stay with their young until they are grown. "

" Beautiful story, both in writing and illustration. "

" A beautiful story from Lois Lowry's childhood. The story tells of a day she spent with her father soon after he returned from fighting in the war. The illustrations that accompany the text make it just a beautiful book to be shared, especially between parent and child. "

" I have this book in our library had it has not been popular at all. "

" I used this to introduce personal narratives. "

" I loved it. So sweet and with current times and so many children facing being away from their parents, I think many cane relate. "

" I like the illustrations. The story is all right, but seems to end too soon. "

" I went from "this is good" to "oh wow" over many different reads with different students across years. And it's from Lois Lowry, so come on. "

" Based on true experiences by the author--about a father getting reacquainted with his daughter after coming home from WWII. I LOVED the illustrations and how tangible the story was. "

" Gorgeous example of a "small moment." A sure-fire success for a mentor text. "

" A beautiful, gentle introduction to the far reaching affects of war. "

" Absolutely magnificent. Concept, text, and illustrations all perfect. Author's note illuminating. I'm speechless. "
