SCARECROW FINDS A FRIEND is a beautifully written and
illustrated story perfect for the fall season.
Scarecrow’s work for the season is done. Having successfully
guarded over the crops of his farm, he settles down for a
relaxing dream with the Thanksgiving smells of apple pie and
pumpkin bread wafting over his field.
During his reminiscing of his Halloween the previous month with
his new witch friend, Tally, he remembers his chance she gave
him to experience trick-or-treating. While in the midst of his
dreaming, Tally actually appears from the sky.
But there’s something wrong with Tally! She’s not able to fly
properly and is wobbling all over the place. Tally tells Scarecrow
that she’s losing her flying powers because she’s been granting
too many wishes! So, to repay her kindness for letting him
experience trick-or-treating, Scarecrow decides he will help her
reclaim her flying powers. He just has to come up with a plan.
Ms. Rifken created a wonderful story of friendship and helping
each other out. My son and I sat and read the story together.
It’s perfect for children of any age. You will come away with a
warm feeling of happiness by the last page. And the addition of
the colorful, fall-inspired drawings complete the story perfectly.
