A whimsical pumpkin chase that celebrates sharing and the magic of fall!
On a windy autumn day, Marla Little's giant pumpkin breaks loose and goes bouncing down the hill.
Diddle-dee-doo! Oh, what shall I do?
Marla's refrain rings out again and again-and little ones chant along every time. The pumpkin rolls down country roads, past haystacks and a milkman's cart, over a stone bridge and into town-and one by one, the whole village falls in behind her. It's a silly procession that turns sillier still when it runs headlong into a marching parade, and it all ends around a steaming cauldron of delicious pumpkin soup.
The Roll-Away Pumpkin is a rhyming autumn picture book and bedtime story for kids ages 2-5-perfect for cozy fall storytimes, classroom read-alouds, and Halloween or Thanksgiving gifts.
From multi-award-winning author Junia Wonders and illustrator Daniela Volpari comes Book 1 of The Roll-Away Series, now in six languages and continued in the winter favorite The Roll-Away Snowman. Ideal for families who love Room on the Broom, The Spooky Wheels on the Bus, and It's Pumpkin Day, Mouse!
Why families love The Roll-Away Pumpkin:
- A lilting refrain repeated all through the book-little ones know it by heart after one read
- Playful text that curves and winds along the streets, as fun to look at as it is to read aloud
- Muted, earthy autumn spreads full of details to hunt for: a dog with a string of sausages, signs pointing this way and that way
- Highlighted keywords, repeating lines and a predictable pattern that build beginner-reader confidence
- Perfect for Halloween, harvest and Thanksgiving storytime, and a classroom favorite for teaching sequencing
- The bouncy adventure continues in The Roll-Away Snowman-the perfect winter companion
Marla Little's pumpkin is rolling away! Can she catch it before it's gone forever? Readers both young and young at heart will delight in this lovely, whimsical tale. -BookBub
