Uncle Pips arrives to help an overwhelmed Arlo and Marla contend with parenthood and all the many things they must teach their chicks, such as flying, hunting, speaking and maybe dancing a bit of ballet.

"Like most crows, Arlo has a big brain. But Arlo has something else: a little pal who's not afraid to tell him when he's being insufferable! In the first of three episodes, a battle of the brains and bird-to-bird banter soon turns into an unexpected friendship. Arlo and Pips' adventures include a visit the big city and the beach on their hunt for shiny things and French fries. Cool crow facts are included throughout the book."--
