Pick a Pumpkin

What it is: A lovely autumnal story all about the magic of choosing, carving and lighting the perfect pumpkin. From picking one at the pumpkin patch to scooping out the insides and creating a spooky jack-o’-lantern, it captures all those special Halloween traditions.

Why we love it: We love the warm, cosy illustrations and rhythmic read-aloud text — the perfect book to share together by flickering candlelight. And it’s illustrated by one of our favourites, Jarvis, whose charming artwork brings all the autumnal and Halloween magic to life. A lovely one for getting little ones excited for pumpkin-picking and all the Halloween fun that comes with it.
