What is The Pumpkin Thief about?

Squirrel is delighted when Bird helps him grow five beautiful pumpkins. But one by one, the pumpkins begin to disappear! Determined to solve the mystery, Squirrel searches for clues, finding footprints, peck marks and even a feather. Surely a pumpkin thief is hiding nearby. As he investigates, Squirrel starts to suspect their forest friends. Will he catch the culprit before the final pumpkin vanishes? A funny autumn adventure about friendship, sharing and the surprises behind a puzzling mystery.
