Scarecrow

Scarecrows. We see them in gardens and fields, with borrowed coats, button eyes, a slouch hat, and gloves that are too big. We may think we know a lot about them, but we really don't.... In this story, readers will learn about the daily life of a scarecrow. Written by Cynthia Rylant, illustrated by Lauren Stringer, it was a finalist for illustration for the Minnesota Book Award in 1999.
