It was inspired by watching children pick pumpkins at Mack's Apples, the pick-your-own farm that I live near. It always put a smile on my face to hear their imaginations run wild as the children combed through the fields, looking for the perfect pumpkin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSome children would choose one with a perfect shape, and for others the perfect pumpkin was one that was a bit odd looking - as if they felt it needed them. But all of them just couldn't wait to get home and bring their pumpkin to life by carving a happy face into it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition to being a story book, \u003cstrong\u003e Pick Me! Pick Me! The Story of the Magic Pumpkin\u003c\/strong\u003e is also one of seven original Halloween songs that my wife and I sing. If you're ever in our neighborhood for Halloween you can stop by and hear us perform them all.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvery Halloween we decorate a small patch of wooded area in front of our house, where for the last ten years we've performed for the trick-or-treaters who come to visit. I think we get as much out of the experience, if not more, than the children do! I hope you enjoy hearing the story as much as I enjoy telling it. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSincerely, \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDave Bastien\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dave Bastien\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gooberly Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.09d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780997502718","brand":"Gooberly Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43219281313907,"sku":"9.781E+12","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_7d7a0fbb-561b-43d8-9c45-39b7586d6573.jpg?v=1753535023","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/pick-me-pick-me-the-story-of-the-magic-pumpkin-9780997502718","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
