Two scarecrows are planning the perfect wedding and set off to find everything on their list.
But wicked 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.
This is a story about two very special scarecrows - Betty O’Barley and Harry O’Hay - and they’re about to get married! Does everything go to plan? Let’s find out …The picture on the book cover shows Betty O’Barley and Harry O’Hay - our two scarecrows. They’re standing with their arms outstretched in a field of golden wheat. Harry wears blue denim dungarees and a black hat. Betty wears a bright pink dress, covered with pale pink polka dots. In one arm she holds a bunch of pink flowers. The pair look at each other with loving smiles. Their field is near the seaside and the blue ocean sparkles in the distance. I can almost taste the salty sea air!
