(3) K-3 Six crows battle a farmer for control of a wheat field. The farmer makes frightening scarecrows, which the crows try to scare off with terrifying kites. Finally, an owl helps the two parties talk over a solution. The fable is illustrated with clean, bright collage. The owl's claim that "words can do magic" is both the tale's moral and a storyteller's creed.
