Grant gives us a trickster tale with an Italian flair!  The book is about a crow that asks a weasel for help with the corn crop.  But can you trust a weasel?  Crow soon finds out! The illustrations are so vivid with color that the animals look as if they are going to spring from the pages.  The illustrations make this book!  There are many Italian words used throughout the book and a glossary aids the reader.  Sit back, relax, and enjoy a trip to Tuscany!  (Trade Book)
