The Little Scarecrow Boy by Margaret Wise Brown
3.0
It's definitely entertaining when you get an animated reader to read it out loud! Our kindergarten students loved it. We talked about emotions throughout the story, counted the crows, and asked the students about how they related to the scarecrow boy's facial expressions. Were they scary? Why or why not?
The only part that we had to reinforce was that the little scarecrow boy did run away from home and do something he wasn't supposed to do, and even though his dad is proud of him at the end for scaring away the crows, it doesn't make what he did okay. Bit of a mixed message at the end, but fine if you're not one to nitpick over such things.
