But when the crow takes flight, leaving the Scarecrow all alone again, is it the end of their unusual friendship.? The Scarecrow adopts the hatchling, sheltering him and cheering him on as he grows.
Then a baby crow crashes to the ground near his feet, and everything changes. Standing in his field through the seasons of the year, the eponymous Scarecrow is a solitary, friendless figure, one who does not know joy or companionship. I can see the nephew and niece having liked it and I can see them being a bit bored, so I don't know what they would do, but it's a great story and I think it needs to be read. I don't know how much kids would like it. You really need to read this story and see the magic of it. Warm fuzzies flooded me through the reading of the whole story. The crow grows and flys off and the scarecrow is lonely again. A baby crow falls from its nest and scarecrow bends down and scoops it up and lets it grow in his heart. The scarecrow keeps the animals away during Fall and Winter and then in Spring something happens. We meed a scarecrow out in the field alone and the animals are scared of it. I love the rhyme and the story and it's told so beautifully. There is nothing I've seen in 2019 that was better than this. I can't believe it didn't win a Caldecott.
What a delight! I will have to look for the Fan brothers from now on, because they proved themselves with this. It captures the seasons and the animals and oh my. I mean, all the colors and the play of light and the details. It's a special story that needs attention. This is seasonal, but it's more a story about love and caring for something. I wasn't sure if this was Halloween or not and it's NOT. Wow! This is probably the Best picture book I've read All year. Highly recommend for everyone of any age. The world needs more books like this! Get this book and read it with your child! You won't be disappointed. It's also a poignant reminder that love can always be given, but never taken. This is a heartwarming story of love, friendship, compassion, and loneliness. The illustrations capture all the emotions of the beautifully written, rhyming text. We've also enjoyed a few other books by Beth Ferry. The Night Gardener is one of our favorite books, so I knew the illustrations by the Fan Brothers wouldn't disappoint. One special day, something drops from the sky and Scarecrow does something totally unexpected.
All the local animals know not to mess with him, and because of this, Scarecrow has no friends and stands all by his lonesome all through the seasons. The story opens with a lonely scarecrow who does his job well scaring away all the animals that make a nuisance of themselves in the fields. This year I've labeled a handful of children's books favorites for the year.
