This fun "countdown from 10" book features the rowdy and mischievous shananigans of the popular raven. They steal pretty pearls, picnic in a pickup truck, and perform dizzy loop-de-loops. Scenarios are fanciful but rooted in ravenhood: collecting shiny things, testing curious objects, getting into the garbage, and showing off.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 6–The author and illustrator of Lucky Hares and Itchy Bears (Alaska Northwest, 1996) have teamed up again to create an original counting book. This one not only teaches numbers, but also cleverly showcases the impish nature of corvus corax. The adventurous birds swoop and cavort across the pages of dramatic, hand-colored linocut illustrations, causing trouble wherever they land. The carefully crafted, rhyming verses, such as Eight roguish ravens/Pilfer piles of loot,/Cheater swipes some pretty pearls,/Seven give pursuit, capture the fun. With bold lines and rich, jewel-tone colors, the artwork displays the larger-than-life birds against the stunning background of their northern habitat. Children will enjoy perusing The Daily Kaw, an appended seven-page tabloid that features True News from around the Raven World. It includes scientific information about the creatures, as well as amusing stories profiling their mischievous antics. Pair this fun-filled title with Gerald McDermott's Raven: A Trickster Tale from the Pacific Northwest (Harcourt, 1993).–Linda L. Walkins, Mount Saint Joseph Academy, Brighton, MA

This review is from: Ten Rowdy Ravens (Hardcover)
This book is very original and is sure to entertain both parents and children. The text is fun, rhymes, and has a nice rhythm. But the illustrations are the true highlight of this work. The ravens in the book are adorable and mishevious
