And when he carves the pumpkin eyes and a mouth, it comes roaring to life shouting, ‘ME WANT HALLOWEEN!’ Now his pumpkin is on a rampage – stealing all of the sweets, all of the toys, and even some black cats! Will it destroy Halloween forever or can an extra special trick show pumpkin that it’s better to share the treats? And will pumpkin be sorry for his naughtiness? Well, maybe just a little bit . . . A must-have Halloween gift for children who love to laugh! Riotous rhyming text by Michelle Robinson will have children cackling along Tom Knight’s hilarious illustrations bring this pesky pumpkin to life Perfect for fans of Sproutzilla and The Pumpkin Who Was Afraid of the Dark
