The Scarecrow

The work of a scarecrow is lonely: your job is to keep things away from your fields. But when a baby crow, lost and lonely itself, lands nearby, this scarecrow ignores his job description and leans down to take care of the little bird. Beth Ferry's graceful rhymes and the Fan Brothers's always-exquisite illustrations make this a sweet and lovely story of connection. But what does the farmer think? (Ages 1 to 5)
