Scarecrow Betty and Scarecrow Billy

Scarecrow Betty and Scarecrow Billy loved each other tenderly and strongly.

Once, at the end of the workday, Billy said: - Marry me!… "Agreed! Hooray!" - said Betty, and the young couple got to preparing.

The tailor spider sewed a fluffy dress from snow-white goose feathers. The cows lent their bells - to joyfully ring at the wedding. The crab strung beads from colorful shells. The nimble mice searched the yard - they found rings from old curtains. All that was left was to pick a huge bouquet, and Billy went to fetch it. But one day passed, then another, and still no Billy. Betty was worried: what if he fell in love with someone else forever?

Meanwhile, the farmer set up a new scarecrow in the field - Harry. He is a dandy and a charmer and wants to ruin the wedding.

Julia Donaldson is called "the children's Shakespeare today," and Axel Scheffler is one of the brightest and most recognizable illustrators of our time.

 "The Best Wedding" is the long-awaited new work from these talented authors.… And by the way, will you be able to find the Gruffalo in the book?
