Description
Tattybogle the scarecrow has a head full of straw and cheerful thoughts. The rain is his music, the birds and animals his friends and the wind is his dancing partner. Nothing gets him down; he loves everything – even the crows!
Then one day the Autumn wind is so strong that Tattybogle is blown to pieces. All that is left of him is an old stick, but he never loses hope. Spring turns out to be the start of a glorious new life for him as his stick takes root and he becomes a tree!

Review extracts from MUSIC TEACHER 2007
'The songs contain a helpful amount of repetition. 'Pitter pitter pat on his hat' goes the rain while the crows' chorus celebrates with 'Caw! Seeds! Yummy! In my tummy! 'These lively effects are matched with sentiments of gentle tolerance; the scarecrow is forbearing rather than strict in his professional duties, saving weaker creatures from their would-be predators and insisting that 'there are plenty of seeds left to grow.'
It's only in 'Wind Wolves', with its jagged rhythms and turbulent accelerando that nature shows its harsher side. The reprise of the opening numbers when Tattybogle exchanges his silver crown of snow for a golden crown of sunlit leaves is done with charm.
