The Scarecrow: A 15-Minute Horror Story: Educational Version

By AT Davidson

The scarecrow in the Williams’s field was certainly scary, and not just to crows.
Bobby couldn’t say why exactly he found it as scary as he did. He just did.
He told himself it was only some material filled with straw, but avoided going near it, all the same. He preferred it if he didn’t have to even think about it.
The scarecrow had been there forever, or so it seemed. It had certainly been there as long as he’d been around, and as far as Bobby was concerned that was forever enough.

Find out what happens when Bobby is forced to go into the cornfield and face the scarecrow in this short but creepy tale.
Educational Versions Include exercises designed to meet Common Core Standards.
Ages 9 and up.

Reviews for The Scarecrow

[Jeannie Meekins · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This story is all about Bobby's overactive imagination. Or is it?
The black and white pictures suit the story. They give the scarecrow just enough menace and threat. If you don't think so, go back and have a good look at him.
