Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

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.
