Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Two Crows Counting
Doris Orgel · 2020
72/100
👍 Worth It
Counting up to ten and back down again with two crows is a simple frame, but the cut-paper collage illustrations give it genuine visual personality that sets it apart from generic concept books. The dual structure (up then down) is a smart literacy and numeracy reinforcement that teachers and caregivers will appreciate. Thin on story, strong on purpose — exactly right for its Bank Street Ready-to-Read Level 1 audience.
