Jeb, a determined scarecrow, faces off against a flock of mischievous crows intent on devouring his precious pumpkins. As Halloween approaches, Jeb must outwit these feathered foes to protect his patch. Will his clever tactics be enough to thwart the crows' annual feast, or will they leave his field in ruins once again? Dive into this enchanting tale of courage and cunning, where the stakes are high and surprises lurk in every shadowy corner of the pumpkin patch.
Watch out crows, this scarecrow won’t give up without a fight! Every year, pesky crows throw a party in a scarecrow’s patch, gobbling up all the pumpkins in sight and leaving a horrid mess. Not this year! Jeb is determined to protect his pumpkins no matter the cost. Those crows are in for an unpleasant surprise! Author and illustrator Jana Dillon conceived this as her first book. Originally published in 1992, the rollicking dialogue, glowing scenes of evening mischief, and a scarecrow family of unusual charm have all stood the test of time in this inventive tale full of the radiance and excitement of the Halloween season.
