BOOK TALK – HOPEFULLY THE SCARECROW / “Hopefully” didn’t have a memory of his beginning, but he sure remembered the girl. Every year, she came with gentle hands and tucked him up onto his post in the garden. At the end of the season, she’d store him carefully in the shed.
But the best part was in between – when she’d sit in the garden with a big stack of books and read him her stories -- lots and lots of wonderful stories! Remembering the plot twists and turns kept him busy all winter!
Then, one planting season, it wasn’t the girl who tucked him into the garden at all! Hopefully wondered… “Where was she? Would she ever come back?” Well, hopefully… :)
I LOVE this one, of course! (It would make a GREAT gift for a new librarian or teacher!)
