FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING ILLUSTRATOR OF MATT DE LA PENA'S LOVE AND WATTY PIPER'S CLASSIC THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD On the farm where Otis the tractor lives, the farmer has introduced someone new—a scarecrow to shoo away the pesky crows. But when Otis and the animals greet the scarecrow with friendly smiles, the scarecrow’s frown never leaves his face. So everyone leaves him alone. Then one day, when a cold autumn rain sets in, Otis and the animals snuggle close and play Otis’s favorite game: the quiet game. Otis knows the puppy and ducks can’t sit still for long, and soon the farm friends begin to giggle and squirm, feeling warmed by one another’s friendship . . . but on this day, Otis can't seem to take his eyes off the lonely figure in the cornfield. A deeply resonant book about subtle acts of compassion and standing up for others, featuring everyone's favorite tractor, Otis. Praise for OTIS AND THE SCARECROW: "Otis the tractor’s goodhearted nature continues to shine in his fifth picture book." – Publishers Weekly “Readers will enjoy this sixth tale of an admirable leader who does the right thing with quiet confidence.” – Booklist “Teachers will see the connection between the lonely scarecrow and the outsider in the classroom and will be able to find many uses for this volume in the curriculum. Fans will enjoy this more cerebral Otis and might build a little empathy along the way.” – Kirkus Reviews “Loren Long creates a perfect book for the beginning of the school year with " Otis and the Scarecrow ."-- Examiner.com Review: We love Otis and want to collect ALL of his books! <3 - We love the stories and beautiful illustrations in the Otis books.

Book, Otis and the Scarecrow
Oh, Otis. You tried so hard to engage the scarecrow! A great little book, completely enjoyed by the grandson and gramma. The illustrations are superb and like the other Loren Long books, gentle, tender, enjoyable stories. Quick shipping, careful packaging. Thank you for the great transaction.

Otis
My son loves Otis books. I like this one a lot, he is not as big of a fan. This book takes a look at not giving up on people, accepting people as they are, and working with strengths. Good stuff!

Otis is our hero
My four grandchildren love the Otis books and want me to read them again over and over. The artwork is eye-catching and the story line always has a positive message I can discuss with my little ones after we finish the book.

If your child loves tractors Otis is the best and they will be hooked
This is a really cute book in a really cute series. If your child loves tractors Otis is the best and they will be hooked. My son got two Otis books from school and now wants them all. Really a great book to read to little ones and to help promote a love of reading.
