Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin [With CD]
Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin [With CD] | Joe Troiano
23 posts | 21 read | 3 to read
It's hip to be square-and that's why The Legend of Spookley has sold more than 100,000 copies so far! And now it comes with a free CD. Spookley was different.He was odd, he was rare.Spookley the pumpkin wasn't round-he was...square! A very unique pumpkin delivers a special message of tolerance and self-acceptance that's just right for Halloween...and every day of the year. Plus, the book comes with a FREE CD that features the famous Bobby Boris Pickett (of Monster Mash fame) reading the story and singing songs--including one from the upcoming Spookley film! What's going on in the pumpkin patch? Well, a very unusual pumpkin has hatched. While all others are round, Spookley is square. He's not like his friends-they have curves, he has ends. And so everyone teases him, night and day.But just before Halloween, the weather turns stormy. Winds toss the round pumpkins to and fro, and off they go, crashing and bashing and smashing--except Spookley. Can he, with his square little body, save the day?A delicious story about how good being different can be. And the imaginative end--a patch filled with all sorts of oddly shaped and colorful pumpkins--will thoroughly delight kids!

This children‘s book about how being different is ok and how we each have a place in the world is delightful! I had never heard of it until my daughter entered Kindergarten and her class read it. It‘s adorable. 🎃 #scarathlonphotochallenge #pumpkin #blackcatcrew

Beautiful book that shows the read that it is okay to be different and to not judge a book by its cover. Prefect read for the fall.

Picturebook. The legend of Spookley is a fun book about a square pumpkin that saves the day. This book shows us that being different is a good thing. The action of the story is coupled perfectly with the illustrations. The illustrations really pull it all together with the movement and color bringing the book to life. Overall beautiful story and a good October/fall read.

I decided to read some Halloween kid books today.

Although they were all cute, Spookley was my favorite. I loved this adorable story of a pumpkin who is different who realizes that he's being different can be a good thing.

This is our new favorite book! My kid fell in deep love with the movie on Netflix, so of course we just had to go find the book. It‘s a sweet story about how being different can be a good thing, there are adorable illustrations and it rhymes! 🎃

When Maya was in 2nd grade, her teacher read aloud this Spookley book. I only learned this fact tonight, 4 years later, when browsing Netflix! So we read the picture book together on Hoopla to relive the preschool years and are getting ready to watch the movie. 😂 It's a cute and sweet story!

The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin written by Joe Troiano Illustrated by Susan Banta is about a square pumpkin who just wants to fit in. He ends up saving many of the pumpkins lives. The moral of the story is that you can‘t judge a book by its cover. #ucflae3414f17

#throwback to one of my favorite childhood books for #booktober 🎃🍂
I love Spookley so much. He was my favorite pumpkin and the reason why I chose misfit pumpkins every Halloween. 💛

meltedsquirrel My stepson is dressing up as spookly for a story book parade at his preschool. He is very excited about it. 8y
