The Squishy, Wishy Pumpkin | Board Book

Read it. Squish it. Make a wish! 🎃✨

The Squishy, Wishy Pumpkin by Make Believe Ideas turns Halloween storytime into a hands-on sensory experience. The Squishy, Wishy Pumpkin has a very special talent—he grants wishes to anyone who says “Trick or Treat!” As kids follow along with the playful rhyming story, they can squish and squeeze the pumpkin character that appears through every spread. 

And when the lights go out? The pumpkin glows in the dark! The tactile element, repeating rhyme, and interactive refrain encourage little readers to touch, participate, and become part of the story rather than simply listening.
