Description:

When six hungry crows threaten a farmer's ripening wheat field, he builds a fearsome scarecrow to frighten them away. But the clever crows aren't so easily fooled, and soon the farmer and the birds are caught in an escalating battle of wits. This original fable, brought to life through Leo Lionni's beautiful collage illustrations, gently shows how conflict can spiral out of control, and how understanding and compromise can bring it to an end. With its simple story and deeper message about resolving disagreements peacefully, this timeless picture book offers lessons for children and grown-ups alike.
