Description:

From New York Times bestselling author of The Leaf Thief comes the funny Halloween-y companion picture book!

Squirrel and Bird are back, and this time there's a mystery in the vegetable patch! Bird's pumpkins keep disappearing, and this time there's EVIDENCE--footprints, peck-marks, a feather! There is a PUMPKIN THIEF!

With vibrant art and captivating characters, the magic of Halloween's preparations are captured beautifully on each page as readers tag along on Squirrel's forest adventure. Is there truly a pumpkin thief on the loose, or is something else going on? And does it have anything to do with the jack-o'-lanterns appearing on his neighbor's doorsteps?
