Scarecrow

(4) K-3 In a lyrical text likely to appeal more to adults than to picture book readers, Rylant presents a paean to the scarecrow, personified here as a creation that appreciates the time to think and the opportunity to watch nature grow and change that his job presents. Soft-edged acrylics in rich earth tones lend a warm, engaging feel.
