As well as a stonking good story, this rhyming romp is a cautionary tale…Axel’s Scheffler’s artistic wizardry brings the characters to life –Books For Keeps
About the Author
Julia Donaldson is the author of many of the best-loved picture books ever written. She has been awarded an MBE for services to literature, and was also a much-praised Children’s Laureate. Julia lives in Glasgow.
THE SCARECROWS’ WEDDING is the eagerly awaited new picture book from the creators of THE GRUFFALO and STICK MAN. Written in Julia Donaldson’s glorious rhyme and illustrated in glowing colour by Axel Scheffler, THE SCARECROWS’ WEDDING is a fabulous love story, with drama, humour, originality – and a happy ending! Two scarecrows, Betty O’Barley and Harry O’Hay, are planning the perfect wedding. But wicked scarecrow, Reginald Rake, has other ideas and almost ruins their special day. Harry must become a hero before he and Betty can have the wedding of their dreams.
