The first pages

Ezra and his dad made a scarecrow for their vegetable garden in Halifax. They gave him a straw hat, a plaid shirt and a big painted smile. They named him Mr. Wiggins.

"His job is to keep the crows away from the corn," Dad said. Ezra wanted Mr. Wiggins to look very brave.

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.
