The joyful and heartwarming picture book from the number one bestselling author and illustrator of The 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.

Sturdy board pages with softly rounded corners are perfect for little ones. 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 Tabby McTat stars voice artists including Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who) as the narrator, Rob Brydon (Gavin and Stacey) as Fred, Sope Dirisu (Gangs of London) as Tabby McTat, alongside Cariad Lloyd, Joanna Scanlan and Susan Wokoma.

'The perfect marriage of rhyme and pictures ... A joy from start to finish' - Daily Mail
