Description

A picture book from the ever-popular Tales from Fern Hollow series of 17 titles, richly illustrated in traditional style, for ages 3-93. Now back in print under the author/illustrator's (John Patience) own imprint, Talewater Press, this new edition contains the same story and illustrations as the original editions which were first published in the 1980s,

Farmer Bramble's crop is being eaten by crows so his children make a wonderful scarecrow to frighten away the pesky birds. The only problem is, the scarecrow just isn't scary enough. This calls for drastic action!

As Farmer Bramble went out to begin his day's work, he was singing a little song -

Fern Hollow is the place to be,
The leaves are green on every tree.
The sky is blue, don't need a brolly,
And I'm a farmer, round and jolly.

The little song came to an abrupt end as Farmer Bramble noticed a flock of big black crows in his field, all greedily gobbling up the wheat.

Can you guess what Farmer Bramble's clever solution to the problem might be?

The charming Fern Hollow stories have remained popular since they were first published in 1980.
