A poignant picture book about a scarecrow who
befriends the young girl who reads to him day after day until one day
he's left wondering where she is.(goodreads summary)
Today is the first day of Fall and here is a beautifully illustrated story of friendship to start off the season. Hopefully looks forward to the little girl reading stories to him while he watches over the garden. Year-after-year through her favorite books, she takes him on various journeys and adventures. One Spring, someone new places him in the garden and he waits patiently for his little girl to come read to him. He does not give up hope as time goes by and she hasn't returned with an armful of new stories. When she finally returns, instead of reading to him, she takes Hopefully from the garden to a new and unusual place. A place that they both know he will love! This book is perfect for an Autumn season read aloud. After reading this charming book, kids could make their own scarecrow and read stories to it too. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 5-6.~
