Bartholomew Quill is clever and curious, but he doesn't know who or what he is. He has feathers not fur, so he can't be a moose; he is black like a puffin but his beak is the wrong color. This determined bird won't stop asking questions until he discovers what the reader knows—Bartholomew Quill is a crow! Acclaimed biologist Thor Hanson takes us on a journey through the animal kingdom, and Dana Arnim's exuberant watercolor and ink illustrations add to the magic.
