The perfect blend of rhyme and pictures. A delight from beginning to end. Rhymes that are a joy to read, wonderful illustrations, and hints for adults. The lovely and warm illustrated book from the acclaimed author and illustrator of the "The Gruffalo," "Stick Man," and "Zog" series.

Betty O'Barley and Harry O'Hay were scarecrows. (They danced with the birds every day.) Harry loved Betty, and Betty loved Harry, so Harry said, "Betty, my dear, let’s get married!" Two scarecrows plan the perfect wedding and set off to find everything they need from their list. But the wicked scarecrow, Reginald Rake, has other plans and almost ruins their special day. Harry O'Hay must become a hero before he and Betty O'Barley can have the wedding of their dreams.

The bestselling book is now available with a high-quality audio CD, beautifully narrated by the award-winning actress, Imelda Staunton. The CD includes the full story with music, the listening game "The Scarecrows Wedding," and the brand new song "Scarecrows Wedding," which was specially written for this CD by Julia Donaldson.

Perfect rhyming text that is a joy to read and stunning images on every page with many details to discover. From the creators of "The Gruffalo," "Stick Man," and "Zog," which have all been turned into films.
