"Leave your lunch bag unattended? / We'll peck it open and upend it." Convinced that humans are too busy to notice them, some crows describe what they do every day. The rhymes have faultless tempo, and the art is beautifully composed and tender--perhaps too tender, as it seems at odds with the playfully menacing text.
