Review Detail

Hopefully the Scarecrow is a heartwarming story about a scarecrow and his friendship with a young girl. Every season, the young girl puts out the scarecrow in the garden. The scarecrow looks forward to his visits with the young girl especially when she reads her books out loud. During the winter, the young girl brings the scarecrow into the shed, where he is "hopefully" protected.

What I Liked: This was a beautifully written story that brought tears to my eyes. It showed the possibility of change being scary, but also resulting in a sweet ending. I enjoyed how the illustrations used warm colors to evoke fall feelings.

I highly recommend Hopefully the Scarecrow for readers of all ages.
