With just one line of text per page, this simple, twelve-page board book will send Debbie Diesen and Dan Hanna’s much loved Pout-Pout Fish flippering and swishing into the hearts and minds of very young children.
Told and illustrated with Sandra Boynton’s celebrated charm and pizzazz, Spooky Pookie has all the makings of a beloved Halloween classic.

In Karen Katz’s distinctive style, an adorable baby searches throughout the house for her pumpkin.
Is the pumpkin under the leaves, behind the curtain, under the bed? NO!

With a little help from a friendly witch, he is soon safe and sound, back on his porch — where there are no spiders to be seen! Little ones will love this fresh fall spin on a classic nursery rhyme!
How should Daddy carve the pumpkin? What should Baby be — a princess or pirate, ballerina or clown?
When the jack-o’-lantern’s ready (looking suspiciously like Baby), it’s time for a little ghost to head out in the slightly scary night.
Fear turns to excitement as the pumpkin fills up with treats.
