It's Pocket's birthday... but has everyone forgotten?
Pocket the Scared Scarecrow has been counting down the days. But on his big morning, nobody says a word. Not the scarecrows, not the roosters, not even the sheep. No one has remembered, Pocket whispers.
What Pocket doesn't know is that Mrs. Haybale is planning a surprise party in the far meadow. Then WHOOSH! A wild wind tangles the streamers, the balloons float up, up, and away, and the donkey's tail blows away!
His knees go knock-knock-knock, but Pocket is brave anyway. I can do it! I can do it! I can save my BIRTHDAY! Can he and his scarecrow friends fix the party before the guests arrive?
A warm, funny birthday story about courage, kindness, and teamwork, perfect for ages 3-7.
Parents and grandparents will love:
- A sweet birthday gift and joyful read-aloud, with the Happy Birthday song to sing together
- A gentle message that it's okay to feel scared, and you can still be brave
- Soft watercolor pictures full of balloons, cake, cheeky rabbits, and farm animals
Teachers and librarians will love:
- A cheerful SEL (social-emotional learning) read-aloud about feelings, courage, and friendship
- Repeated phrases children love to join in with: I can do it! I can do it! and HIP, HIP, HOORAY!
- Sparks great conversations: How did Pocket feel when he thought everyone had forgotten? What helped him be brave? How can you help a friend who feels left out?
- Fits birthday, feelings, and friendship units in preschool, pre-K, kindergarten, and grades 1-2
