Synopsis
On a windy autumn day, Marla Little comes running down the hill yelling, “Help! My giant pumpkin is rolling away! Onward it goes, rolling and turning, with no sign of stopping! Diddle-dee-doo! Oh, what shall I do?”

A little girl chases her giant pumpkin all over town with some help along the way. It's the perfect autumn bedtime story to read with your little pumpkin.

The author uses repeating sentence structures to capture young listeners’ attention and give early readers confidence.

The book is exquisitely illustrated by award-winning Italian illustrator, Daniela Volpari. Every page is a beautiful work of art and is one of those picture books whose images will linger long after you've turned the page.

My Thoughts
I came across this book one day and thought it would be perfect to review before Thanksgiving. I really enjoyed this story of the roll away pumpkin and the whole town that stops everything to try to catch it.This is the great book to read to the kiddos, the story is cute and funny and the illustrations are breath taking! It’s makes a wonderful bedtime story one that’s perfect for these chilly autumn nights.
