On a windy autumn day, Marla Little comes running down the hill, yelling, “Help! My giant pumpkin is rolling away! Onward it goes, rolling and turning, with no sign of stopping! Diddle-dee-doo! Oh, what shall I do?”
A little girl chases her giant pumpkin all over town with some help along the way. Featuring a cast of delightful characters and beautifully illustrated with memorable scenes, you’ll love reciting “Diddle-dee-doo! Oh, what shall I do?”  together with your little pumpkin.

Review


"Marla Little's pumpkin is rolling away! Can she catch it before it's gone forever? Readers both young and young at heart will delight in this lovely, 
whimsical tale." -
BookBub

"This book combines patterns with some classic onomatopoeia to create a very silly story that your kids are sure to enjoy. And it's 
perfect for the whole season! While a lot of fall books stick strictly to Halloween, this includes the sights and sounds of fall itself -- which we love best of all." 
Book Nook NYC

"Being a seasonal book, it is safe to say this won't likely get worn out, and may even become a seasonal tradition - likely in my house to say the least! 
A winner for sure!" 
-ErmaReads

"It makes a 
wonderful bedtime story, one that's perfect for these chilly autumn nights." 
-A Southern Girl's Bookshelf

A wonderful Thanksgiving read. Good chefs often say "the simplest dishes are the hardest to make well." I'd say the same goes for stories. Leave it to great storyteller Junia Wonders and her talented illustrator Daniela Volpari to turn a simple story of a rolling pumpkin into an exciting tale and a visual treat. The artistically laid out texts, the short but emotion-charged dialogue and the beautifully drawn pages that flow so seamlessly one into the other, will keep your young ones enchanted and caught up in the chase. [...] every child can benefit from learning the universal message the book teaches: 
helping each other and 
sharing your rewards
