[Magdalen] The Crows

[Grace Cangialosi]

You've reminded me of a question I keep forgetting to ask. I never heard the term "chapter book" until my grandchildren started school, and I thought it was some new terminology or a new pedagogical technique for teaching reading. It still appears no different from the series I read as a kid...Nancy Drew, et al...but from your post, I gather this isn't new.

So, what makes a book a chapter book?

What I like about crows is that they're not the vicious bastards standard blackbirds are.  I was once literally chased out of a cemetery by a gang of blackbird thugs who didn't seem to get that I wasn't at all concerned about the damned nest of theirs in the tree near where I was visiting.

And on a lighter note, this is the first "chapter book" I ever truly read as a first-grader:
