The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything is a great book to read. We also put on a puppet show and the children love to see the characters and know the sounds each character makes.

Idea:

There is a cute book titled The Little Scarecrow Boy written by Margaret Wist Brown and illustrated by David Diaz. It's about a fierce scarecrow man, his wife and his little boy. His little boy wants to go to the field with his father to scare the crows away, but his father says that he is not fierce enough. He eventually proves his father wrong and ends up making a great fierce scarecrow. After reading this book, I have the students make their own little scarecrow boys. I find a picture of a scarecrow, add some straw, a piece of candy corn for the nose and some fabric for the patches on his clothes. The kids then paint or color the rest.
