The residents of Sunnyside Village have a wonderful scarecrow competition every year, and everyone gets involved. This year is no exception, with the pupils of Sunnyside Primary School having made a wonderful Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, and Dr Campbell has created a fabulous Red Mummy Bear scarecrow! Mr and Mrs Beasley have made a lifelike scarecrow of Peter Rabbit and the Singh family have made a cheeky looking clown scarecrow.
However, disaster has struck!
Some naughty person has swapped all the scarecrow heads around! Peter Rabbit has Cinderella’s head, Cinderella has a clown’s head, and poor old Dorothy has Mummy Bear’s hairy head attached!
As Chief Inspector, it is your job to look at all the character descriptions and the five clues left behind, and unmask the Scarecrow Head Swapper!
