28 months - we have read many things by this author and really enjoyed The Old Lady Who Named Things. However this story was just ok. ( )

book written from the perspective of the scarecrow. Story is told in second person. Uniquely written with colorful illustrations. Very descriptive. Story puts life concepts to an inanimated object. ( )

Students will be very engaged in this book. Great book for talking about point of view since it is from the scarecrow's point of view and perception. Also talks about the season's so would be perfect book for a science lesson.

A cute text that shares the perspective of a scarecrow. This book begins with the creation of the scarecrow and what he encounters during each season.

The transition from season to season is observed through inferences. I personally loved how the author and illustrator made this transition without the reader clearly noticing it.

This is a great book for teaching inferences. I would also like to use this book with students when studying the changing of the seasons. ( )

This author weaves pure magic. Each and every book, whether illustrated, or YA, appears to be written from the heart. Composed of many things, a carrot, a hat, a shirt, a hat, each piece woven together to make a whole.

As we experience the seasons through his eyes, there is a calmness and serenity.
This guy has his act together. He accepts his bird and animal friends, he enjoys the seasons and he knows just who he is.

Ah, if we could all be like him...content. ( )
