If there are scarecrows, there have to be crows and other birds not so far off. There are so many great books with settings in and around a farm that you'll have no trouble finding many choices. Those of you who read my columns regularly already know about my delight in that one. Try having the kids tell or illustrate the story from the fox's point of view. And don't assume this is only a book for the youngest.
Older students can analyze the book.
There's no shortage of descriptive and lyrical books about the farm. We need more categories. Maybe weird, fanciful, and sad will give us more room. The point is that, by exploring a topic through children's books, children get many views of the same subject. Comparing fictional with non-fictional material is an obvious and useful activity.
