The legend of

Spookley
The square pumpkin
Book Summary
Spookley was
different.
He was odd,
he was rare.
Spookley the
pumpkin wasn't
round - he was...
square!

What's going on in the pumpkin patch? Well,

a very unusual pumpkin has hatched. While
all the 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?

Students can color in Spookley’s
eyes, too.

Glue the leaf so it just overlaps

the top of the pumpkin. Glue the
stem to the top center of the
pumpkin so it overlaps the leaf
and sticks out the top.

Have students complete the

writing pages of your choice.
Stack your booklet together so
the pumpkin face is on top of
the writing pages. Place these
on top of the back cover and
staple together at the top to
create a booklet.
