Scarecrow+and+His+Servant

by Philip Pullman
 * //Scarecrow and His Servant//**

Scarecrow is a courteous, but pea-brained fellow, with grand ideas. He meets a boy, Jack, who becomes his faithful servant. Scarecrow leads them into hilarious situations and terrifying dangers, but Jack's common sense always saves the day. Scarecrow never realizes the one family who desperately wishes he’d never sprung to life is following him. Will the Scarecrow discover the secret to his past before the crooked Buffalonis close in on him?

__Scarecrow Book Introduction__ One way to introduce this book to students would be to dress up as a scarecrow and tell a part of the story from the perspective of Scarecrow.
