A Storytelling of Ravens by Kyle Lukoff - OPTIONAL

Lukoff, Kyle A Storytelling of Ravens, pictures by Natalie Nelson.  PICTURE BOOK.  Groundwood Books, 2018.  $19.  978-1554989126

Lukoff tries to bring sly humor to the collective nouns that we use for animal groups.  Unfortunately the meanings will be lost on a young audience.  The stylized illustrations are colorful and amusing.  This might be useful in an older (high school) class as a short exercise in creative writing or illustration, but getting a high school teacher to use a picture book is a different struggle in and of itself.
