As part of our Harvest celebrations, we have been thinking about the scarecrows that help to keep the produce safe from the birds - and this story from Julia Donaldson seemed to be an ideal choice for our next focus author book!
Betty O'Barley and Harry O'Hay were scarecrows - they planned to have a wedding, the best wedding yet, a wedding that no one will ever forget!
They made a list of the things they would need on the day and went on a hunt round the farm - lots of the animals helped them along the way.
Cherry said she liked it "When the cows shaked their bells for the scarecrow"
Isabel told us "The snail followed the old man"
But the snail was so slow . . . it took more than a day. The farmer came by with a frown on his face, and he made a new scarecrow to take Harry's place.
Georgia - "I liked it when the scarecrow found another scarecrow"
But Reginald Rake accidently started a fire - Betty was in danger as the flames flickered higher.
Then Harry arrived just in time - Jaydn told us "He put the water on the fire"
Having saved Betty's life, now they could at last become husband and wife!
We hope you enjoy reading the complete story - and finding out who helped them with all the items on their list.
Have you been to a wedding? We would love to hear all about it. Post us a comment and let us know!
