Two Crows

This melodious read-aloud reimagines the haunting Scottish Gaelic ballad Twa Corbies as a child-friendly counting book. Two Crows follows a country dweller and their dog on a cold November’s day as they observe the wild, wooded landscape all around them. Young readers will delight in observing the crows’ strange behaviour as they bitter and squawk, chatter and talk, while rabbling with a rabbit, squabbling with a squirrel, and howling at a hound. As readers watch the crows come and go, they will find themselves counting up to ten and back down again.

With stunning, spare verse from the award-winning author of Loon and Hawks Kettle, Puffins Wheel and folk artâ€"inspired artwork by Emma FitzGerald, the Elizabeth Mrazik-Cleaver Awardâ€"nominated illustrator of EveryBody’s Different on EveryBody Street and A Pocket of Time, Two Crows is a lilting tale to warm the heart on cold winter nights.
