I think it's jolly good. It rhymes very well. It is a step up from No-Bot, the Robot with No Bottom. One thing that puzzled me was that it was set in a farm, but there was a crab in it. The crab brought some sea shells, which Betty O' Barley wanted for her wedding. What's a crab doing on a farm? He belongs in another book. Another thing that puzzled me was when the farmer made up another scarecrow to replace Harry O' Hay when he went missing. The new scarecrow was called Reginald Rake. He struck me as being like the spiv off Dad's Army and I instinctively started voicing him like Harry Rednap. I didn't put on any voices for the other characters. Then I wondered about the names of the two principal characters: Harry O' Hay and Betty O' Barley. Why so Irish?
