ABOUT THE BOOK Burton the Kind Scarecrow is the endearing first title in V.A. Boeholt's delightful Burton the Scarecrow -Friendship Tales from the Farm series. Introducing Burton, Farmer Green, and a host of their feathered and furry friends, the story conveys a memorable message of caring that centers on service to others. Boeholt puts this idea into practice as a Giving Partner with Feed The Children. SUMMARY Standing tall and straight in Farmer Green's field, Burton the Scarecrow watches over the gardenand the little birds and animals nearby. As winter approaches, Burton demonstrates caring and kindness by giving of himself to help his friends find shelter. When springtime comes, that friendship comes full circle, as the grateful birds and animals hurry to Burton's aid by mending him, providing him with a new wardrobe, and introducing him to a delightful new friend.
