Big Pumpkin

This charming picture book tells the story of a witch who grows a truly enormous pumpkin, too big for her to pick alone. Initially hesitant to share, she learns the value of cooperation as a ghost, a vampire, and a mummy each try, and fail, to move it on their own. Ultimately, with the help of a tiny bat, they all work together to get the pumpkin off the vine, leading to a shared Halloween feast. The book uses delightful rhythm and repetition, making it a perfect read-aloud that gently introduces themes of teamwork, perseverance, and the joy of sharing, all set against a fun, non-scary Halloween backdrop.
