The Pumpkin Who was Afraid of the Dark by Michelle Robinson and Mike Byrne

A sweetly spooky Halloween story about a little pumpkin with big fears, by a best-selling picture book duo!

The way every pumpkin is meant to behave

is fearless and feisty and spooky and brave.

It's what every pumkpin is brought up to do . . .

apart from the littlest pumpkin, named Boo.

Boo does NOT like Halloween.

She isn't spooky, she's small and sweet. 

And she does NOT like trick-or-treating. Why? Because she's afraid of the dark.

So, when Halloween comes around Boo is especially worried. All the noise, and scary costumes, and people running around in the dark... Boo does not like it one bit!

But when she meets a little boy who also shares his fears, Boo realises that perhaps Halloween - and the dark - aren't quite as scary as she thought.

And is Boo ready to shine? You bet she is!
