Summary: beautifully illustrated!
Review: Despite the actually scary scarecrow, my 2 1/2 yr old boys love this book. They bring it to us to read several times a week. They love feeling the embossed pictures and telling me what they see. As the reading parent, I don't mind reading it to them over and over. The illustrations truly are beautiful, the font is also open and pleasing to read, and the story itself is one we should all remember - judge other not by their looks but by the friend they might become. My only concern might be that the scarecrow really might be too scary for some children with its jagged teeth and open mouth. I'm suprised this book isn't available today (Jan '02). It was printed in 1999 and our library copy (now due back after being checked out for 3 months!)is still in perfect condition. I hope the printer considers another printing for those of us who want our own copy for our collection!

Summary: BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Review: Scarecrow lives in the middle of a wheat field.
The animals who also live in the area, or frequent the field, stay far away from scarecrow.
They are frightened by his jagged metal mouth and ragged outward appearance.
Poor scarecrow! So lonely and sad, just wanting a friend!~
One winter night, snow falls and transforms scarecrow into a very cute and jolly snowman!
The animals and birds love this "snowman" and play with him every day!
Spring comes and the snow begins to melt.
Guess what?! Even as the snow slides off of scarecrow, the animal friends are no longer afraid of him!
They all are happy and remain friends for life.

Review: This book is beautifully illustrated with detailed pictures of beries, wheat , animals and flowers. Each page has a beautifully illustrated border in addition to the primary picture. It is a heartwarming tale of friendship. Even the writing font is beautiful.
