(3) K-3 Spirin tells of the time his young son Ilya rescued an injured crow who then became part of the family. Details in the story will appeal to the picture book audience (Martha's penchant for sitting on the artist's head while he drew, for instance). The lush art set in plentiful white space beautifully portrays a Moscow of a few decades ago.
