| Summary |
"The Tale of Old Mr. Crow" by Arthur Scott Bailey is a children's book written in the early 20th century. This light-hearted tale features Mr. Crow, a whimsical character known for his mischievous antics as he interacts with other creatures in Pleasant Valley and navigates life under the watchful eye of Farmer Green. The book likely explores themes of identity, community, and humor, following Mr. Crow's adventures and misadventures. In the story, Mr. Crow faces various challenges, such as the perception of being an outlaw among the forest creatures, interactions with Farmer Green, and the dynamics of his community, which include playful rivalries and friendships. As the tale unfolds, we see Mr. Crow exhibiting both cleverness and foolishness, dealing with everything from a giant scarecrow meant to deter him from stealing corn to navigating the social hierarchy of the animal world through a gathering called a caucus. The book combines light-hearted humor with moral lessons about acceptance and facing one's flaws, all narrated in a charming manner that appeals to children and adults alike.
