Fun book about a hundreds of years old couple whose pumpkin goes missing. In setting out to find who snitched it, they encounter several characters on whom they play Halloween tricks on (in the name of finding the pumpkin, of course). My kids (9, 6, 3 years) thought it was hilarious.

Someone has snitched the pumpkin that the 800 year old man and the 700 year old woman were going to use to bake a pumpkin pie They go in search of their vanishing pumpkin, and along the way they run into a cast of usual suspects, but none have seen the vanishing pumpkin. But soon the mystery of the vanishing pumpkin is solved with tasty results.

I love every single thing about this book. It's a classic for dePaola--before he was famous and I am enamored of the colors and compositions and I also love the story. And the phrasings. It's funny and it's about the best creatures of Halloween. And the cloth binding under the dust jacket is lavender.Sigh. Sarah Montambo Powell

A 700-year-old woman and an 800-year-old man go looking for their missing Halloween pumpkin and meet several ornery spooky critters along the way. I'm always looking for new Halloween stories to share, so I picked this one up. While it's not the greatest, I think kids will laugh at the old-man's tricks, and the silliness that goes along with the chase.

Our favorite kid's Halloween book to read aloud. It has so much scope for doing many different spooky voices. And,you can't beat the illustrations by Tomie dePaola. "I'll do you such a trick!"
