Book Summary
Crows Share a Pie is a delightful story about sharing that also teaches students about fractions. Students will find not one, but eight crows that think sharing is a good thing. As the crows divide their pie into smaller and smaller pieces, the concept of fractions as parts of a whole is reinforced in both the text and the illustrations.
