March Of The Scarecrows

"March Of The Scarecrows" by Lenore K. Dolan takes readers into the Great Fields, where a lively troupe of straw-stuffed scarecrows breaks from their solitary posts to march, pair up, and perform for an audience of birds and squirrels. Led by a scarecrow in an oversized straw hat, the group moves through high-stepping routines and low bows, all set to the tune of "The Little Sandman." As October arrives, their song tells the bittersweet story of a watcher finally stepping away from the cornfield.
