We love to round up our craft activities with matching stories or other activities. Here are some cute scarecrow books I found for you:

“We’re off to see the Wizard! The wonderful Wizard of Oz!” Rediscover L. Frank Baum’s timeless children’s classic has charmed readers for generations.

“An emotionally impactful exploration of love and loneliness, this is an essential addition to any picture book collection.” — School Library Journal
