Big Pumpkin by Erica Silverman (1999, Unabridged, Audio Cassette)

‘Big Pumpkin’ tells the story of a funny Halloween Witch who wants to make a pumpkin pie with a big pumpkin, but the pumpkin has grown so big that she can’t pull it off the vine. She needs some help from her ghoulish friends, a Ghost, a Vampire, a Mummy and a Bat. The Witch is funny and adorable with her green face, long nose and chin, and wild orange hair. The illustrations are in a deep and dreamy color palette, that add an element of Halloween night time mystery, without being too scary for small children. A beautiful and clever Halloween story for children.
