The Runaway Pumpkin - Written by Kevin Lewis and Illustrated by S. D. Schindler
The Runaway Pumpkin is a cute story about a very large pumpkin that is found by three costumed children. They decide to roll it down the hill which causes it to crash in to various parts of a farm on the way down. As it rushes past the kid's family members, they have memories of yummy foods that can be made from a pumpkin. Eventually the pumpkin comes to a stop and gets squished through the front door. At the end of the story, a guest sits down at the table full of food made with pumpkin. Who could it be?
This story is full of funny illustrations and tongue-twisting rhymes. It's a great book to help explain a pumpkin versus a jack-o-lantern and what kind of foods are made from a pumpkin. Beware - it's going to make you hungry!
