this is a beautiful book that i would recomend to anyone with an interest in nature and animal relationships. i read this as a choice reading in my advanced english class, and i am extremely happy that i did. this book is not for the weak of heart, as the ending is quite upsetting. even so, it was inspiring untill the last word. i highly recomend it.

What Parents Need to Know
About Charlie's Raven
Parents need to know that this is a pedagogical story in the best sense -- designed to teach about ecology in general and ravens in particular, and to serve as a model for behavior in families, friendships, and stewardship. The animal behavior aspects of the story are based on good science and research, and the book can lead both to a desire for more information and to good discussions.
