The Bundle Features Three Stories: I Am Scarecrow, The Scarecrow Who Is Afraid of Birds, and Scarecrow Gets Three Wishes By Alexie Linn
Series Overview The Scarecrow Book Bundle is a whimsical, heart‑forward collection of three stories that help children explore courage, creativity, problem‑solving, and emotional resilience — all through the gentle eyes of a lovable scarecrow. Each tale blends imagination with real‑world lessons, offering children a safe, playful space to understand big feelings and small actions that make a difference.
Across the series, kids meet a scarecrow who wiggles in the wind, one who learns to face his fears, and one who discovers the importance of thinking carefully before making a wish. These stories are perfect for ages 4–8, early readers, classroom story time, and cozy bedtime reading.
I Am Scarecrow
Description A charming introduction to the world of scarecrows — how they’re built, why they matter, and how even kids can “be a scarecrow” by helping protect gardens. Children follow Maudee and Granny Nel as they build a scarecrow from poles, straw, old clothes, and creativity. The scarecrow explains his job with pride:
“I have a very important job. Because, you see, I feed the world.”
This story celebrates imagination, hands‑on creativity, and the idea that small actions help the world grow.
How This Story Helps Children
- Encourages creativity and fine‑motor skills through building and drawing.
- Teaches cause and effect — how scarecrows protect seeds and help food grow.
- Builds confidence by showing kids they can “be a scarecrow” too.
- Supports body awareness and movement through wiggle‑and‑pretend activities.
- Introduces gratitude for nature and food systems in a simple, accessible way.
The Scarecrow Who Is Afraid of Birds
Description In a land where dogs read newspapers and cats play guitars, one scarecrow has a problem: he’s afraid of birds. Each night he tries on a new “persona” — cowboy, turtle, snail, whale, airplane, polar bear — hoping to find courage.
“He discovered he can turn into anything he wants when he sleeps.”
Eventually, he becomes a homing pigeon and finds his way home… forgetting he’s afraid of birds at all. A gentle, humorous tale about bravery, imagination, and discovering your own strength.
How This Story Helps Children

- Encourages problem‑solving through imaginative “persona testing.”
- Builds resilience by showing that courage grows through small steps.
- Helps children understand identity and self‑confidence in playful ways.
- Invites creative thinking: “What would YOU turn into to find your way home?”
Scarecrow Gets Three Wishes
Description Princess Molly taps Scarecrow with her magic wand and grants him three wishes — but each wish comes with unexpected consequences. Sparkling clothes blind everyone. Undoing the sparkles uses up another wish. And the final wish accidentally summons a lightning‑fast puppy with a turkey leg in his mouth.
“Be careful what you wish for!”
With help from Princess Molly and Road‑builder Lucas, Scarecrow learns that thoughtful choices matter — and sometimes accidents bring joy.
How This Story Helps Children
