Kids Book Read Aloud:

What happens when a scarecrow makes friends with the very bird he’s supposed to scare away? 🍂 Join me for The Scarecrow, written by Beth Ferry and illustrated by the Fan Brothers. When a frightened baby crow falls from the sky, Scarecrow chooses to help. That one kind act is the beginning of an unlikely friendship. Parents and teachers, share this picture book during fall storytime or use it to start a conversation about kindness, loneliness, and friendship. Pick a few questions to ask before, during, or after the read aloud. Before reading What is a scarecrow’s job? What do you think the crow on the cover is doing there? Look closely at Scarecrow’s face. How do you think he feels? What clues do you see? During reading What do you think Scarecrow will do with the baby crow? What makes you think that? How do you think the baby crow feels when Scarecrow helps him? What would you say to the crow if you were there? How can you tell that Scarecrow and the crow are becoming friends? What do you notice in the pictures? What changes in the field as the seasons pass? How do the pictures help you tell how much time has gone by? After reading How does Scarecrow feel at the beginning of the story? How do you think he feels at the end? What helped change how he felt? Which moment made you feel happy, sad, or surprised? What made you feel that way? What’s one way you could help someone who feels scared or left out? If you could draw one more page for this book, what would Scarecrow and the crow be doing?
