The big-eyed, big-nosed, brightly colored, cartoonish illustrations will be familiar to students who are fans of Charlie Cook’s Favorite Book, A Gold Star for Zog, the Gruffalo, or any of Scheffler’s other work.  The story, told in rhyme, describes two scarecrows who fall in love and decide to marry.  After wandering the farm to find the things they need for their wedding, Betty stays behind while Harry sets off to find the last thing on their list, pink flowers, and water to keep them fresh.  The search takes Harry longer than he expected, and while he’s gone the farmer builds a new scarecrow to take his place, who goes by the name of Reginald Rake.  Needless to say, Rake proves to be an arrogant cad, who nearly sets Betty on fire when he drops his cigar, but Harry returns just in time with his bucket of water and flowers, which he dumps on the flames to save Betty’s life.  It’s cute.
