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.

  • Shiny foil highlights on the cover makes this a special gift for toddlers
  • A wonderfully funny story with drama, humour, originality – and a happy ending from the UK’s number one picture book author and illustrator
  • Perfect read-aloud rhyming text and stunning pictures on every page with lots of details to spot
  • From the creators of The Gruffalo, Stick Man and Zog, which have all been made into animated films
  • The animated film of Tiddler stars voice artists including Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso, Game of Thrones) as the narrator, Lolly Adefope (Ghosts) as Miss Skate and Rob Brydon (Gavin and Stacey, The Trip).

Praise for The Scarecrows’ Wedding:
‘The perfect marriage of rhyme and pictures … A joy from start to finish’ Daily Mail
‘Fabulous rhymes that are a joy to read out, wowey illustrations and winks to the grown-up’ Sunday Times

Bookseller Jessica thinks 'The Frozen River' by Ariel Lawhon should be your next read!
"When the Kennebec River freezes over during another brutal winter, Martha Ballard, a local midwife is called upon to identify a corpse trapped within, to determine a cause of death. However, the mystery deepens as Martha realises the dead man had recently been accused of rape by a local woman and Martha had acted as witness during the case.
Based on the diaries of Martha Ballard whose family has a historical link to the founder of The Red Cross, Clara Barton."
