Pumpkins on Strike: A Funny Halloween Rhyming Read Aloud

by Jennifer Jones

The pumpkins are protesting… and they’re on strike!

They’re tired of being carved into silly faces, scooped out, squished, and left to rot on porches. This fall, they’ve had enough and they’ve rolled away with a message for everyone!

Can the kids patch things up before Halloween is ruined?

With playful rhymes, hilarious scenes, and a message about respect and teamwork, Pumpkins on Strike is a not-so-spooky fall favorite for kids ages 4–8. A perfect pick for pumpkin season, classroom fun, or silly Halloween storytime!
