Otis and the Scarecrow

Otis and the Scarecrow

FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING ILLUSTRATOR OF MATT DE LA PENA'S LOVE AND WATTY PIPER'S CLASSIC THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD

On the farm where Otis the tractor lives, the farmer has introduced someone newâ€”a scarecrow to shoo away the pesky crows. But when Otis and the animals greet the scarecrow with friendly smiles, the scarecrowâ€™s frown never leaves his face. So everyone leaves him alone.

Then one day, when a cold autumn rain sets in, Otis and the animals snuggle close and play Otisâ€™s favorite game: the quiet game. Otis knows the puppy and ducks canâ€™t sit still for long, and soon the farm friends begin to giggle and squirm, feeling warmed by one anotherâ€™s friendshipÂ .Â .Â . but on this day, Otis can't seem to take his eyes off the lonely figure in the cornfield.
A deeply resonant book about subtle acts of compassion and standing up for others, featuring everyone's favorite tractor, Otis.

â€œReaders will enjoy this sixth tale of an admirable leader who does the right thing with quiet confidence.â€ â€“BooklistÂ

â€œTeachers will see the connection between the lonely scarecrow and the outsider in the classroom and will be able to find many uses for this volume in the curriculum. Fans will enjoy this more cerebral Otis and might build a little empathy along the way.â€ â€“Kirkus Reviews
