Reach for this book when your child is hitting a wall of frustration because they insist on doing a big task entirely by themselves. It is the perfect remedy for the 'I can do it myself' phase, offering a humorous look at how even the strongest or scariest individuals sometimes need a helping hand to get the job done. The story follows a witch who grows a pumpkin so massive she cannot move it. As a series of spooky characters like a ghost, a vampire, and a mummy try and fail to use brute strength, it is the tiny, underestimated bat who suggests a smarter way to work together. It is an ideal seasonal read for ages 3 to 7 that balances spooky fun with a meaningful lesson on humility and collective effort. Parents will appreciate the rhythmic, repetitive text that makes it a joy to read aloud while gently modeling how to move past pride and embrace teamwork.
