From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 1–A large black crow is rejected by smaller, more colorful birds for being too scary. When he paints his feathers to resemble each of them in turn, he ends up creeping out the little birds even more. Finch, Parakeet, and Chickadee are ultimately relieved to see the big black crow who they think has frightened away the strange-looking newcomers, and they form a friendship with him based on this assumption. Between the friendship based on a lie, the equating of black with bad, Crow's self-esteem problem, and the awkward translation, the only thing this book has going for it is the attractive art. The vibrant and expressive acrylic cartoons on clean white backgrounds are eye-catching and exciting. However, the illustrations don't compensate for the story's negative messages and thin humor.Heidi Estrin, Feldman Children's Library at Congregation B'nai Israel, Boca Raton, FL
