Laguna Niguel, CA, June 03, 2017 --(PR.com)-- “Crow Party,” a highly entertaining children’s book written by London J. Maddison and Illustrated by Nick McCarthy, was published this week by Lulu Publishing Services. The author and illustrator have created the book as a teachable opportunity for parents and teachers, similar to their first collaboration published in 2016, “Mak the Kraken.”
“Crow Party” provides a whimsical look at the behavior of crows written in a tone of lighthearted annoyance, with the many incidents and antics that we encounter with our mischievous feathered friends. The story is intertwined with snippets of advice about dealing with crows, from a lightly humorous perspective geared at teaching children to observe wildlife while accepting and respecting creatures that have learned to share urban areas with us. From their “CAW, CAW, CAW” communications calling friends and family to their artful ways of stealing food from farms, backyards and trash cans, it is a story of crows and their party-prone behavior. The book, a hybrid publication between a picture book and early reader book, teaches about their interaction, communication and intelligence in a lively and amusing paperback.
Inspired by science, research and the desire to help children look inquisitively at the urban wildlife that surrounds them, “Crow Party” promises to become a favorite for children, while also entertaining adults who are reading to them.
“The way Nick has so wonderfully captured the personalities and bad behavior of crows in his illustrations for 'Crow Party' combined with the lively tempo of the narrative intend to delight children, whether they are being read to or whether they are reading it themselves as early readers,” indicated London J. Maddison. “We are both very excited to put 'Crow Party' in the hands of children everywhere.”
