About this title

Synopsis

Roll into pumpkin season this autumn with a fall favorite perfect for storytime.

A field trip to the pumpkin patch almost ends in disaster in this rollicking picture book tale of resourcefulness and resilience. Perfect for preschoolers and early elementary schoolers.

The old adage of "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade" is reborn with pumpkins! When a bumpy road and a faulty bus storage lock release a load of handpicked pumpkins back into the wild, the students on a field trip are left with a single pumpkin. Pluckily, they decide to take what they have and do what they can. Together they decorate the only surviving pumpkin for their harvest fair.

But good fortune comes knocking the next day when a group of kind neighbors arrives at the school. They found the smashed pumpkins and turned them into celebratory seasonal fare, perfect for sharing: yummy soup, cake, pie, and even fries!
