The Fall Festival needs pumpkins, so the hard working trucks go out into the night to collect some. But something goes wrong and only teamwork can make it better. A fun rhyming story.
The illustrations by the author are fun, colorful, and delightful.
Well suited for reading alone or WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting especially to a school or your local public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Two Lions via NetGalley. Thank you… (más)

On the first day of school, two girls become friends; through the school year, they exchange notes, hunt for nature treasures (pebbles, feathers, acorns, worms), and share cookies. On the final day of school, it's clear their friendship will continue into the summer. "Our adventures have just begun..."

In an author's note, Ward remembers collecting treasures as a girl, but never having pockets in her clothing, unlike her sons.
