The Scarecrow's Dance

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline. A scarecrow comes to life one autumn night. He dances over to the farmhouse, where he's humbled and gratified to overhear the farm boy including him in his prayers ("And bless tonight / Our old scarecrow / Who guards the fields / And each corn row"). Yolen's rhymes are air-tight, and Ibatoulline makes every moonlit spread darkly radiant.
