Lovely.

A new Krajewski family favorite! We laughed, we cried, and we truly loved it.

A touching story of friendship.

This book definitely tugs at the heartstrings. But it's gorgeous.

So glad I bought this because it is picture book perfection.

Slightly long, but the narrative is worth it. And the illustrations are EXQUISITE.

Super touching story. Rhythmic writing. Out of this world illustrations.

Oh, I REALLY liked this little gem. Sweet rhyming story and the illustrations are beautiful...can't wait to obtain a copy for my school library collection!

I really want to give this more than 5 stars.
Rhyming picture books don't always work for me, but when, like this one, they do - Wow!
A scarecrow is renowned for it' ferocity until a baby crow lands at its feet. What ensues is the development of a profound relationship for the scarecrow and the crow. It celebrates the power of connection and friendship. This book is so heartfelt it's difficult not to tear up.
The Fan brothers have outdone themselves in the one. Each page is a work of art worthy of hanging in a gallery. This book is the ideal perfect marriage between words and images.

I've read more than enough frightening books about scarecrows, but this is nothing of the sort. This adorable scarecrow is lonely, but at least he serves his purpose by scaring away animals and protecting the crops. But one day the unexpected happens and it turns out there's more than meets the eye to the old scarecrow. Gentle rhyming text matches the gorgeous, soft illustrations in a tale that beautifully expresses loneliness, friendship, compassion, and love. Additionally, it's a story that can be shared throughout the year as it discusses the seasons throughout the year. The artwork was created using pencil, ballpoint, and Photoshop.
