The Vanishing Pumpkin by Tony Johnston (1996-08-22) Paperback

Cute tale of an old man and old woman, each hundreds of years old, looking for the person that stole their big pumkin. Just as they were going to pick it to make pie, it vanished. They go to see the ghoul, and show they have ways to make you talk. You see they are both witches with very old power. They go to see the rapscallion, and even the varmint. But no one knows who took their pumpkin. They finally meet up with a powerful wizard, even older than they are. Will they find their pumpkin in time to make pumpkin pie?Some repetitive lines and rhyming make this a nice book for reading to the younger ones, and not scary at all. Good story to go to sleep with. Terrific art work and colors by the great Tommi de Paola. I reccommend.

I was a childrens librarian and know this book by heart. They all love it.

Thanks so much, fast shipping and good condition . It’s awesome to have a childhood favorite back to read to my own kids

This was one of my favorite books when I was a kid and I read it with my sister until it was close to falling apart and its story has stayed with me through the years. To this day, rapscallion is a favorite word to sprinkle about in a festive manner. When I found out I was going to be an aunt, the first thing I did was look for our old favorite books but was disappointed to find they had been lost in time. Another story with a happy ending all thanks to Amazon. Now I get to pass on a piece of my sister's and my childhood to my little nephew and enjoy this book for years and years to come.

Good condition...this was one of my favorite childhood stories when I was younger and I couldn't find it anywhere. So glad I was able to find it on amazon, along with other childhood stories I enjoyed.
