SynopsisA little bat uses brains over brawn in this not-so-scary Halloween picture book. The witch has grown the biggest pumpkin ever, and now she wants to make herself a pumpkin pie for Halloween. But the pumpkin is so big she can't get it off the vine. It's so big the ghost can't move it, either. Neither can the vampire, nor the mummy. It looks as if there'll be no pumpkin pie for Halloween, until along comes the bat with an idea to save the day. How can the tiny bat succeed where bigger and strong spooky creatures have failed?

  • The Big Pumpkin

    Thank you! Adorable story! My three year old can’t get enough! Pages somehow ripped in the mail all the way through in one spot bummer but we love the book!

  • Big Pumpkin

    Very entertaining bedtime story for children as the calendar leads up to Hallowe’en. The natural reaction to try an ‘kick that pumpkin’ every time is comes up adds to the humour of the story. Using the metaphor of the small bat coming up with the successful idea provides an opportunity to give children a positive perspective on what they can be capable of even though they are still small in stature.

  • Halloween creatures work together to move a "BIG" pumpkin.

    The story follows a series of sequences like many folk tales. Someone new is added in succession to help solve a problem. In this case, the problem is trying to move a giant pumpkin. A similar folk story is about a giant turnip and finding a way to pull it out of the ground. The lesson for children is that of teamwork and the solution is often suggested by the smallest member of the group.

  • As a former preschool teacher, our children loved the book and accompanying tape. My grandson who is two relates it to me every time I see him.
