Pick a Pumpkin cover

Now in board book for the littlest hands, this Halloween classic is the perfect book to share by flickering candlelight on the spookiest night of the year.

With warm, autumnal art, and a rhythmic read-aloud text that captures all the excitement and familial feeling of Halloween, this iconic, luminously illustrated classic is a treat to cosy up with on crisp, dark evenings.

It’s Halloween! Which means it's time to dangle cobwebs and bats from the windows, put on costumes, and – most importantly of all – visit the pumpkin patch and pick out that perfect pumpkin! Then cart it home, scoop out the insides, carve a scary face, and finally light a candle inside, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind, glowing jack-o’-lantern.
