Bookroo's summary

In a field of ripening wheat, a farmer and six clever crows face off. The farmer builds a scarecrow to protect his crop, but the crows are not easily deterred. As tensions rise, can they find a way to coexist? This enchanting fable explores the power of compromise and understanding, weaving a tale that mirrors both animal and human behavior. Discover how a simple act of cooperation can transform conflict into harmony.

From the publisher

The beloved farming fable from four-time Caldecott Honor winner Leo Lionni!

While a farmer tends his field of wheat, six hungry crows watch and wait in a nearby tree. When the wheat ripens, the farmer builds a scarecrow to frighten them off, but these ingenious crows are not so easily scared. Bringing this original fable to life with brilliant collages, Leo Lionni deftly draws parallels between animal and human behavior that children can readily appreciate. And once again he shows us that compromise can work magic.
