A Joyful Rhyming Story Of Love, Mischief And Scarecrows

- Book Synopsis
-
Ideal for readers who:
- Will click with rhyming picture books full of warmth, humour and gentle jeopardy
- Like the sound of a scarecrow wedding threatened by a gloriously wicked rival
- Are charmed by countryside stories packed with comic detail and a happy ending
- Are looking for a charming, funny and read-aloud-friendly picture book
Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler know exactly how to turn a simple premise into a delightfully satisfying picture-book adventure. Betty O'Barley and Harry O'Hay's plan for the perfect wedding is sweet enough on its own, but the arrival of Reginald Rake adds just the right amount of mischief.
The rhyme carries the story beautifully, and Scheffler's illustrations are full of comic expression and little details children will enjoy spotting. There is drama, silliness and genuine tenderness all the way through.
This is an easy recommendation for families who want a funny, affectionate picture book with real read-aloud bounce.
