Ten Rowdy Ravens - by Susan Ewing (Paperback)

About the Book

This romping countdown rumpus stars the rowdy and mischievous shenanigans of the popular ravens. They steal pretty pearls, picnic in a pickup truck, and perform loop-de-loops. Illustrations.

Book Synopsis

Ten ravens set out on a lark. As the pages turn, they steal pretty pearls, picnic in a pickup truck, and pull a predator's tail. Scenarios are fanciful but rooted in ravenhood: collecting shiny things, testing curious objects, getting into garbage, and showing off. The adventures take their numbers down to 1, and they reunite to play the game all over again.

Review Quotes

"A treasure...combines mischief and laughter with accurate information."

"An imaginative romp about our favorite trickster."

"In Ten Rowdy Ravens, one feels the mischievous nature of the raven in Zerbetz's colorful illustrations and enters the raven's world through Ewing's clear and engaging prose. The Daily Kaw is sure to garner a wide circulation with its 'tongue-in-beak' descriptions of true raven reports."

"Not only teaches numbers, but cleverly showcases the impish nature of Corvus corax."
