Dixie Duck has always wanted a family, but she doesn’t like all the commotion in Farmer Green’s fowl yard! Deciding to nest by the nearby creek, Dixie lays seven beautiful eggs in a pile of soft dirt. When she returns from sharing her good news, Dixie discovers that her precious eggs are missing!

Pick only one? Not possible. Growing up on a Kansas farm, I was very familiar with the story/movie of the Wizard of Oz and the kindly scarecrow has always been my favorite character. I adore the scarecrow puppet in the video.
