A scarecrow boy keeps being told that he's not yet fierce enough to go out in the fields with his father to scare away crows. He practices his faces every night trying to become as fierce as his father. Eventually, the scarecrow boy goes out in the field by himself early one morning before anyone is awake yet. He tries 5 of the 6 scary faces he knows to no avail. The crows just keep coming! That is, until he tries the 6th face which is the most scary by far. He scares all the crows away and his father sees him do it. 
 Good for preschool storytime, but a bit long for younger than that.
