Josh's little sister Callie is probably the sweetest girl in the whole county, but no one loves her more than her big brother. When Josh finds a giant pumpkin on Grandpa Frank's farm, the two agree to keep it a secret from Grandpa's prospective buyers. It is the biggest pumpkin that Callie has ever seen, and Josh tells the four year old stories about magic pumpkins. With such a big pumpkin, Josh will surely be crowned Harvest Festival King and get to ride in the biggest float in the parade.
As the Harvest Festival nears, Callie wanders off and gets lost in the woods. She's scared of the dark, but she was never afraid of the pumpkins. Josh's clever idea about how to find his sister means he will have to give up his magic pumpkin and any chance of being crowned king. The whole town is united in this heartwarming fall story.

Josh's Pumpkin

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago

This sweet story features big brother Josh and little sis Callie. They love playing hide and seek in Grandpa Frank's pumpkin field where they find the biggest pumpkin ever. Callie calls it Josh's magic pumpkin, and he's determined ride it in the harvest festival, towed by Grandpa Frank's tractor. One evening when Josh is hiding his perfect pumpkin from the prospective pumpkin purchasers that visit the pumpkin patch each fall, Callie wanders off and is lost. It's night and she's afraid of the dark. But Josh has a great idea about how to find her. No witches, no spooky ghosts, this is a lovely story with a happy ending. The engaging art has a wider color palette than many Halloween books have. By: Connie Goldsmith, children's book reviewer for California Kids, a Sacramento regional parenting publication.

This is a great book for sharing with a child in the Fall. The pictures of pumpkins and autumn leaves are wonderful and the story leaves you with a very satisfying feeling. I highly recommend it.
