Halloween hijinks are the spotlight of this delightfully silly autumn tale, perfect for fans of Stumpkin and the How to Catch series!
Ellis loudly wakes his dad up from a nap to wave his Halloween costume wand, so Dad decides to play a joke of his own: he leaves a pumpkin in his chair and hides. From there, this practical joke takes on a life of its own. Convinced he's turned his dad into a gourd, Ellis tries to rush his pumpkin dad to the hospital…only for it to roll off his bike and straight into a pumpkin festival! Which one of these bright orange squashes is his dad? With danger seemingly waiting around every corner-pumpkin cider! pumpkin pie! pumpkin carving!-Ellis races to save his pumpkin dad until a slapstick reveal finally reunites them.
