The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin

My box of Halloween decorations includes a few 

Halloween books, and Spookley has become a 

yearly tradition. 

Both my boys know how Spookley’s odd shape 

became an asset one stormy night in the pumpkin patch.

I had no idea Spookley’s fame had gone beyond our box 

until Sunday when I saw a dvd of his adventures playing 

on the television at a party.

So many books celebrate the value of being different

that you’d think we’d all believe it by now. The trick is to remember all the little ways differences can help see the world in new and sometimes wonderful ways. 

If that’s not enough of a treat for you, curl up with Spookley

or Shadow and the Halloween Party (another from our box)

Today's Book:

The Legend of Spookley, the Square Pumpkin

 Written by Joe Troiano and Illustrated by Susan Banks.
Happy Halloween!
