What is 20 Pumpkins At Bedtime about?

Broom-Ella cannot get to sleep, even with her cat, frog and owl suggesting she count sheep. But ordinary sheep are no match for magical pumpkins with enormous grins! So she puts down her spell book and begins counting from one to twenty, meeting cheeky, funny and slightly spooky pumpkins along the way. With bouncy rhymes, colourful illustrations and plenty to spot, this enchanting bedtime adventure makes learning numbers feel like a Halloween treat.
