What is The Pumpkin Thief about?

Squirrel has grown a fine crop of pumpkins with Bird’s help, but one by one they begin to vanish. Determined to solve the mystery, Squirrel searches the vegetable patch for clues, finding footprints, peck-marks and even a feather. Could a pumpkin thief be hiding nearby? As Halloween approaches and jack-o’-lanterns appear around the forest, Squirrel sets out to uncover the truth. A playful autumn mystery featuring friendship, animal characters and fascinating facts about pumpkins and Halloween traditions.
