Baby Crow
Baby Crow is a
picture book that follows the lives of a flock of crows living in a tall tree that
all have wonderful singing voices. People come from near and far to hear to
hear these Crows, however, the youngest of these crows was baby Crow that was
having some trouble finding his true voice. This flock of crows endeavour to
help this Baby Crow find his voice, but what it the right decision?
This text
would work great in a lower primary English classroom and could also be integrated
into the music or drama curriculum. The story is quite simple and with each
page turned more and more narrative is introduced to the reader and is accompanied
by a picture on the right hand side. This book would work very well in classes
from reception until year three as this group of students would be able to appreciate
the message being told in the text and relate it to their emerging beliefs
about their own talents. I found this text to be very uplifting and engaging,
Dialogue as well as description were utilised well within the text, which made
the narrative flow and make sense.
