Autumn fun with small-town vehicles.

Crisp fall days are here, and Scooper and Dumper are in high gear, getting ready for the pumpkin parade. From hanging lights to moving hay bales, they’re a terrific team. The night of the parade, they have everything together but the pumpkins. So they head over to Maybelle’s farm. But rounding everything up isn’t so easy. And what’s that spooky noise in the cornfield? Could it be a ghost?

“The bouncy rhyme skips merrily along (perhaps that’s what gives those errant pumpkins an extra push…and why they roll so far away), and the art is dominated by fall oranges, rusty reds, and cornfield yellows. Fans of this duo will happily follow them through another season.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A fun read from start to finish…” —Midwest Book Review
