Waltz of the Scarecrows

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Mary Whyte. A girl visiting her grandparents wonders why Grandpa is dressing his two scarecrows in formal wear until he tells her about the time the townspeople, wearing tuxes and ball gowns, had to interrupt their harvest dance to shoo crows out of their corn. Full-page watercolors document the story and gracefully imagine the rumor that the scarecrows waltz around the fields when conditions are right.
