Clever Crow by Chris Butterworth, with illustrations by Olivia Lomenech Gill, is an engaging children's book celebrating the intelligence and behaviors of crows. Aimed at readers aged 3 to 7, the book combines Butterworth's informative yet accessible text with Gill's expressive mixed-media illustrations, which showcase crows and their eggs in fine detail. Praised as “a picture book as intelligent as its subject” by The Wall Street Journal, and described by Kirkus Reviews as “an admiring tribute to the habits and smarts of the corvid clan,” the book highlights the birds' tool-using abilities, playfulness, and strategic food-hiding techniques. Its muted artistic palette complements the fascinating natural insights, earning it recognition as a 2024 Junior Library Guild Selection and a favorite among young nature enthusiasts.
