There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves! | That wild old lady is back swallowing fall-themed items. What can you make from leaves, clothes, a pumpkin, and rope? That’s right, a scarecrow!

The Scarecrow | It sure is dull staring at endless fields of corn all day, but it’s worse if you’re a scarecrow! Fuzzy Fred might be scary on the outside, but all he really wants is a friend. But with a head stuffed with straw and wooden pegs for fingers, Fuzzy Fred may be too good at scaring people; and with no one to talk to, what’s a scarecrow to do?

The Silly Scarecrow | Is there something scary in the fields at Mountainview Farms? Or is it something silly instead?

The Scarecrow’s Dance | Jane Yolen introduces us to the fickle scarecrow, who decides to leave his station and dance away the fall night. He leaps through the fields until he reaches the farmhouse, where he sees a small light in the window. Inside, a boy is saying his prayers, and he offers up a special prayer for the corn that will be harvested in the morning. Humbled, the scarecrow knows what he has to do: He returns to the field and watches over the corn as only he can.

Otis and the ScarecrowThe Little Scarecrow BoyScarecrow Pete

Otis and the Scarecrow | On the farm where Otis the tractor lives, the farmer has introduced someone new—a scarecrow to shoo away the pesky crows. But when Otis and the animals greet the scarecrow with friendly smiles, the scarecrow’s frown never leaves his face. So everyone leaves him alone.

Scarecrow Pete | A friendly scarecrow with a suitcase encourages a young child to read, and together they explore such classics as “Moby Dick” and “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Told in rhyming verse.

ScarecrowThe Scarecrow's HatScaredycrow

Scarecrow | Scarecrows. They perch high above gardens and fields, with borrowed coats and button eyes and pie-pan hands that glint in the sun. What else is there to know about them?

The Scarecrow’s Hat | A resourceful chicken seeks the help of her farm animal friends to solve a problem, while giving something of herself along the way. Chicken really admires Scarecrow’s hat. Scarecrow would gladly trade his hat for a walking stick to rest his tired arms. Chicken doesn’t have a walking stick to trade, but she knows someone who does. Thus begins her quest to find items to trade among her farm friends, all to obtain a walking stick to swap for Scarecrow’’s hat. But why does Chicken want an old straw hat?

Scaredy Crow | Scaredycrow is a scarecrow with a big problem. He’s scared of EVERYTHING! He’s scared of the crows that fly by in the day. He’s scared of the bats that swoop down in the night. He’s scared of the barnyard animals, too. And the feeling is mutual! The crows, the bats, and other barnyard friends are all terribly afraid of the lonely, little scarecrow out in the field.
