The Runaway Pumpkin by Kevin Lewis, S.D. Schindler
4.0
I love the rhyme scheme here. It reminds me of opening Train scene from the Music Man. It's about a rhythm that drives and rattles forward pushing the story faster down the hill. Thumpety, bumpety, down the hill it goes.
Look at the cover of this book. I love the eyes of the characters as they run from this big pumpkin. In one scene it has rolled over a chicken and the kids got a good laugh at that. The art work is the best with this. It's a simple story. 3 kids dressed for Halloween go up a hill and find a house sized pumpkin. They think they can walk it down the hill and it runs wild.
I love the ending when they are all having dinner at grandma's house all dressed up in costume. Why can't families have dinner dressed up. It's the best. Grandpa was dressed up like a fly which was my favorite while grandma donned the queens garb. It's one of my favorite scenes in the book.
It's a cute beginning story. The kids both loved the book with all the zany things going on. They both gave the book 5 stars. huzzah. This was fun.
