The joyful and heartwarming picture book from the number one bestselling author and illustrator ofThe Gruffalo, Stick Man and Zog.

Betty O'Barley and Harry O'Hay
Were scarecrows. (They scared
Lots of crows every day.)
Harry loved Betty, and Betty loved Harry,
So Harry said, 'Betty, my beauty let's marry!'

Two scarecrows are planning the perfect wedding and set off to find everything on their list.

But wicked cigar-smoking scarecrow, Reginald Rake, has other ideas 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.
