Review

The Scarecrow by Beth Ferry is a touching book about friendship and change. Scarecrow is lonely until one day, he helps save a baby crow. This baby crow grows up and flies away, leaving Scarecrow heartbroken, until Crow returns and builds a family in Scarecrow’s overalls pocket. When the other animals realize that Scarecrow really isn’t that scary, they become friends with him too and Scarecrow is happy. The Fan Brothers’ warm, inviting illustrations combine beautifully with Ferr’s clever story and invite the readers to make friends with others that are different from them because you never know when you might find a friend for life! Highly Recommended Ashley Riddle, Centennial Library Intern, Cedarville University
