Customer Reviews

New take on an old fable

I discovered this book at a conference on teaching across the curriculum with the inquiry method. The text and illustrations are perfect for my first graders, and really, for any age, as the scientific method is elucidated by this clever crow. Great literature connection for a science class.

Great teaching tool

I bought one of these for each of my Elementary Teachers. It is a great teaching tool for the Scientific Method. Great illustrations too.

Unique and delightful retelling of an old favorite.

Illustrations and text form a delightful combination for this unusual retelling of a favorite Aesop fable. Your child or class will get a special perspective by reading this scientific solution to the crow's problem "how to get a drink of water." Complete with drawings, charts and side panels a thorough explanation is given for this unique science experiment. Read it as a picture book or look carefully into every detail of the experiment, either way you will find plenty to enjoy and chuckle over. Grades K-4
