Six Crows

At the foot of the beautiful Balabadur Hills in India, a farmer tends his field of wheat while from a tree nearby six hungry crows watch and wait. When the wheat ripens, the farmer builds a scarecrow to frighten them off. But these ingenious crows are not so easily scared. Bringing this original fable to life with brilliant collages, Leo Lionni deftly draws parallels between animal and human behavior that children can readily appreciate. And once again he shows us that compromise can work magic.
