Book Character Scarecrows!

Each year Inverness Elementary School classes create and display scarecrows -- and each year I go down and photograph my favorites. This year the theme appears to be "book characters."

Here is my most favorite, from THE MIRACULOUS JOURNEY OF EDWARD TULANE by Kate DiCamillo.

Edward is holding a notebook where each student wrote a little something about Edward's journey. This one says, "I belive Edwards journey was worth it because when Edward only loved Himself he should also love people and also be kind to himself and people." Isn't that precious??!

How about WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE by Maurice Sendak?

And check out these familiar book characters:

Here are a couple of less familiar book characters that should be more familiar!

JOHNNY APPLESEED by Steven Kellogg

MISS SMITH'S INCREDIBLE STORYBOOK by Michael Garland

I will leave you with A BAD CASE OF THE STRIPES by David Shannon:

Hmmm... wouldn't it be fun to make a Ludelphia scarecrow from LEAVING GEE'S BEND?? Oh, wait, somebody already did. :)
