My truck loving son loved this story.

I did enjoy that even though its a Halloween story, nothing scary or creepy happens. It's the perfect Halloween story for my 3 year old, that's all about teamwork and problem solving.. with lots of trucks!

A cute little Scooper and Dumper story. Getting ready for the Pumpkin Parade is big work, but not when they do it together.

What a wonderful book that brings together all the best things that make a bedtime book- trucks, rhymes, and who doesn't love all things Fall! This book was an adorable read. My children (boys- 4 & 6) loved the colorful illustrations. The layout was easy to follow for our early readers as well. This will be on our Fall bookshelf for sure!

This is such a fun seasonal read as fall approaches. The rhyming in this book, bravery of the trucks, and teamwork was such a delight. The book was such a great length for my children (3-4y boys) and they loved this story.

I read this book with my 7 year old brother and we both really loved this story. I enjoy when a book has good rhymes and an autumn vibe. The illustrations were so cute and they had my brother’s full attention. I highly recommend especially for as a bedtime story!

My opinion
This book is an adorable book about working together. The character trucks are working together to get pumpkins for the Fall Festival, but something goes wrong. I love the illustrations in the book. It was age appropriate. I enjoyed having both female and male trucks throughout the book. A kid could enjoy bring their voices to life. The book takes place in fall but the colors are brought to life beautifully. Even at night, the colors felt dim but dull. The author had rhymes and it is great for development. This is a cute book for your little during Fall and around Halloween.

This is an adorable book about working together. The cover is eye-catching and really stands out, and the illustrations are beautiful. The rhyming flows perfectly, and I know our littlest library patrons would love this book from start to finish. Highly recommended.

I love books with vehicle characters and this one did not disappoint! Love the eyes and rhythm of the reading! The repeated chant was a fun addition to get kids involved! Fun pictures too!

The Fall Festival needs pumpkins, so the hard working trucks go out into the night to collect some. But something goes wrong and only teamwork can make it better. A fun rhyming story.
The illustrations by the author are fun, colorful, and delightful.
Well suited for reading alone or WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting especially to a school or your local public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Two Lions via NetGalley. Thank you

A cute fall story about farm vehicles with an age-appropriate ghost story.
Such a cute read and the art is adorable!

So cute! I loved the colors so much, it really brought out the autumn atmosphere. I also like how it’s based around a harvest instead of Halloween for any kiddos who don’t celebrate. This is perfect for any kiddo who loves trucks.

This children's book is cute and fun, with bright seasonal illustrations that give all the Autumn vibes. The text is short and contains rhymes, which will be entertaining to listen to for young kids. A light fluffy read.
