Farmer Ham

24 pp. | North-South | March, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7358-2134-7 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Spoor. Wisecracking crows are destroying Farmer Ham's cornfields. Frustrated Ham heads purposefully to the pond, fishes out a series of old clothing items, and builds a scarecrow: problem solved. Young children may enjoy uncovering Ham's plan; others will wonder why the clothes were in the pond, whether Ham knew, and why he didn't act sooner. The playful cartoonlike illustrations use varying perspectives.
