（1 year 10 months） Whilst our daughter enjoys this book， it's hard to feel that it's communicating the right message in being so focused on a wedding。 Just not sure this is what we want to set as an aspiration for her。 That being said， she likes the search for the various items on the list and the anti-smoking message is great - Reginald Rake is a super character。 （1 year 10 months） Whilst our daughter enjoys this book， it's hard to feel that it's communicating the right message in being so focused on a wedding。 Just not sure this is what we want to set as an aspiration for her。 That being said， she likes the search for the various items on the list and the anti-smoking message is great - Reginald Rake is a super character。 。。。more

Another great book from the accomplished team of Donaldson and Scheffler。 Whilst it might not be up there with their very best， the story of scarecrows Betty O'Barley and Harry O'Hay is lots of fun and wonderfully illustrated as per usual。 Another great book from the accomplished team of Donaldson and Scheffler。 Whilst it might not be up there with their very best， the story of scarecrows Betty O'Barley and Harry O'Hay is lots of fun and wonderfully illustrated as per usual。 。。。more

A much more traditional book I would argue with how marriages and true love can occur wherever your imagination is used。 Reception-Year 2

Julia Donaldson’s story always remind me of my childhood when The Gruffalo was such a popular story。 This one is another lovely story by Donaldson， her rhyming as enjoyable to read as ever。

A nice story about two scarecrows planning a wedding with a couple of problems in the way。It could be used to discus friendship， love and kindness with children。

A story about Betty O'Barley and Harry O'Hay， two scarecrows in a field who want to get married and set off on an adventure to find all the things they need for their big day。 However， with some bumps in the road will they make it down the aisle？ A lovely picture book， with rhyme all the way through。 Another classic from Julia Donaldson。 A story about Betty O'Barley and Harry O'Hay， two scarecrows in a field who want to get married and set off on an adventure to find all the things they need for their big day。 However， with some bumps in the road will they make it down the aisle？ A lovely picture book， with rhyme all the way through。 Another classic from Julia Donaldson。 。。。more

Julia Donaldson books illustrated by Alex Scheffler are great。 This is one of them， and as you’d expect is a rhyming tale with great artwork。 “The Scarecrows’ Wedding is about two scarecrows， Harry O’Hay and Betty O’Barley， who plan to have “the best wedding ever， the best wedding yet， the wedding that no one will ever forget。” To make it the best ever they have to gather some things。 So the tale takes us through that， but also tells of Harry O’Hay having a rival and Harry O’Hay coming to the re Julia Donaldson books illustrated by Alex Scheffler are great。 This is one of them， and as you’d expect is a rhyming tale with great artwork。 “The Scarecrows’ Wedding is about two scarecrows， Harry O’Hay and Betty O’Barley， who plan to have “the best wedding ever， the best wedding yet， the wedding that no one will ever forget。” To make it the best ever they have to gather some things。 So the tale takes us through that， but also tells of Harry O’Hay having a rival and Harry O’Hay coming to the rescue when disaster faces Betty。 The Gruffalo is probably the best Donaldson/Scheffler collaboration， but this is a fine offering too。 。。。more

When Betty O'Barley and Harry Hay， scarecrows who scared lots of crows every day， decided to marry， they said that it would be 'the best wedding yet， A Wedding that no one will ever forget。' And that's exactly how it turned out despite some teething troubles on the way。The couple made a list of what they would need on the day and they set about hunting round the farm for such things as they required。 Fortunately they received help for the animals and insects around the farm。 Ducks gave feathers When Betty O'Barley and Harry Hay， scarecrows who scared lots of crows every day， decided to marry， they said that it would be 'the best wedding yet， A Wedding that no one will ever forget。' And that's exactly how it turned out despite some teething troubles on the way。The couple made a list of what they would need on the day and they set about hunting round the farm for such things as they required。 Fortunately they received help for the animals and insects around the farm。 Ducks gave feathers that were spun together by a spider， cows provided bells and said that they would attend on the day and tinkle them and a friendly crab provided a necklace of shells。Some mice found some rings in a bin （they were previously curtain rings！）， a big stripy bee took Harry a long way off to find a field full of pink flowerzzz， which needed some water to keep them fresh。 Luckily a nearby toad knew where there was a lovely wet pool so he traipsed Harry quite some distance to find it。 It took so long to get there that the toad was tired so he and Harry bedded down for the night and slept。The pool was reached the following morning but Harry needed something to carry the water in。 A small squirty snail said that he knew where there was a suitable pail。 But the snail was so slow taking Harry to it that it took over a day to get there。Meanwhile back in their field Betty was worried and the farmer was distressed that one of his scarecrows had gone missing。 So he made a new scarecrow to take Harry's place。 And the new scarecrow called Reginald Rake was something of a swell dressed in a suit with a cravat and a trilby。 He sweet talked Betty and told her to forget Harry as he was the one for her。He even produced a box of cigars that the farmer had left in the jacket pocket and lit it to impress Betty。 But when he began to smoke he coughed and spluttered and consequently dropped the cigar， which set fire to some hay。 Betty was worried。 Reggie high-tailed out of the field and was gone！But suddenly Harry appeared and went to the rescue， using his pail of water to put out the fire and save Betty's life。 She was thrilled to have Harry back and they hugged and kissed。 And with everything crossed off their wedding list， the wedding could go ahead 。。。 and it did and it was indeed 'The wedding that no on will ever forget。'The tailpiece of the book is fun as it shows the happy couple driving away on a tractor with a 'Just Married' sign and a line of empty tins attached to the back。This is another fantastic book from the Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler stable。 。。。more

Scarecrow love - Donaldson style。 Which means fun rhymes， colorful pictures， a villain， and a happy ending。 A great fall， or anytime read。

As usual， I love all the rhymes 。。。 not entirely convinced that a cigar should feature in the story though？！

This was a miss for me。 It has such a cute premise， but I just didn't love the way the story unfolded。 Didn't like that the scarecrows bartered wedding day goods for invitations， "Oh， geese， if you'll give us feather apiece/You can come to our wedding， the best wedding yet / The wedding that no one will ever forget。" Wasn't a big fan of the new （Clark Gable look-alike） scarecrow， Reginald Rake （haha for the name， at least） trying to steal the bride's heart while her groom was away。 Definitely di This was a miss for me。 It has such a cute premise， but I just didn't love the way the story unfolded。 Didn't like that the scarecrows bartered wedding day goods for invitations， "Oh， geese， if you'll give us feather apiece/You can come to our wedding， the best wedding yet / The wedding that no one will ever forget。" Wasn't a big fan of the new （Clark Gable look-alike） scarecrow， Reginald Rake （haha for the name， at least） trying to steal the bride's heart while her groom was away。 Definitely did not like him pulling a cigar from his pocket， lighting up and and almost setting the girl scarecrow on fire！ I mean， it does say that smoking is bad for you， and he *is* the bad guy， but this all just seemed so out of left field。 Also， he suffers NO consequences for this！ Then the groom dashes back to save the bride -- so nothing particularly girl power here。Besides which， the whole thing about the "best wedding ever， the wedding no one will ever forget" -- I know I'm being nit-picky here， but shouldn't a wedding be about the couple， and their love for one another -- a day that *they* will never forget？ I've never liked the idea of weddings done to impress other people。Maybe on another day I would have thought this was cute。 But too many things annoyed me。 I really love some of Donaldson's other work， but this was a miss for me。 。。。more

Donaldson book that I won't use as a storytime read aloud except perhaps with school-age children。 I agree with School Library Journal describing it as "peculiar" and "told through simple rhyming couplets that are intended for young children， but the plot isn't satisfying。" Donaldson book that I won't use as a storytime read aloud except perhaps with school-age children。 I agree with School Library Journal describing it as "peculiar" and "told through simple rhyming couplets that are intended for young children， but the plot isn't satisfying。" 。。。more

（Picture Book）This book is great for all ages。 The illustration does a great job。 The storyline is a cute love story between two scarecrows。 It teaches children love， commitment， determination， hard work， and showing trust。 There is a scene where one bad scarecrow smokes a cigar， so if that is not appropriate for certain children， I'd be careful of this scene。 （Picture Book）This book is great for all ages。 The illustration does a great job。 The storyline is a cute love story between two scarecrows。 It teaches children love， commitment， determination， hard work， and showing trust。 There is a scene where one bad scarecrow smokes a cigar， so if that is not appropriate for certain children， I'd be careful of this scene。 。。。more
