The Roll-Away Pumpkin Paperback – October 1, 2014

Thanks so very much Ms Junia Wpnders for this wonderful, funny, colorful and well illustrated book. My grandson and I enjoyed it immensely and we laughed as everyone the pumpkin passed took part in participating in chasing the pumpkin down,until it rolled itself into the cooking pot. It was an easy read for my 6 year old, so I would recommend this book to parents and grandparents to read to their children to increase their vocabulary and imagination. I gave this book 5 stars because it was very easy read and it captured his attention. Thanks again 👍👍, I appreciate you taking the time to write this book and encourage children to read and develop their imagination!

It's a windy day and Marla panics as her giant pumpkin rolls away. She doesn't know how to stop it so she does the next best thing: she chases it all around town alerting the townfolk. Will she save her pumpkin before it crashes or is all lost for dear, sweet Marla? Such a delightful story that is sure to be a bestseller. All ages (including us old adults) will find this story charming. The illustrations are gorgeous and very colorful. Highly recommend!My Rating: 5+ stars

Chasing a giant pumpkin rolling through the countryside in town provides varied scenery and characters which are fun. This title would not auto-rotate on my Kindle but did on my iPad. I’m not sure if anyone else will have that problem, but it might be because Amazon has changed the way picture books are created.

Such a sweet tale. The perfect way to introduce the Fall season with its many festivities. Roll-Away Pumpkin will have them laughing and wanting more adventures and a perfect way to end the day at bedtime. Sweet dreams…

I really liked the illustrations in this book! I also liked the repetition, but, in a way, I thought it was too simple. I think there could have been more detail and variation- but the illustrations were great and I think that it would be a great book for fall.

This story is a fun read with darling pictures. There are so many little details to talk about with the children you read with.

Although author Junia Wonders wrote a very cute picture book with “The Roll-Away Pumpkin,” with all honesty I have to say that illustrator Daniela Volpari is the real star.Volpari’s illustrations in this book were so breathtakingly beautiful that it was hard for me to look away from them. Her artistic skills really shine in this picture book. This children’s book is one that I most definitely buy if I had a young reader at home.

This was a good book that held my daughter attention from the beginning to the end. I’m looking forward to reading more from the author

Entertaining book for young children

I bought this for Halloween for my toddler who is 3. She is still regularly selecting this book a month later so it’s definitely a hit with her. A simple and cute story. Quality of the paper stock could be better.

This book is perfect for kids! The pictures are beautiful, and also the story is very easy for teachers to tell the students and keep their attention! Loved it!

This is a perfect story for a young reader. The words are simple, repetitive, and the 9 year old who read it to me found it interesting enough to finish, though she is a little too skilled for it. The artwork is exquisite and as I watched my student read, I delighted in simply looking at the images! One concern I have is that the type is so small. I use books like this to tutor kids over Skype. I really need to be able to make the text bigger. Sometimes I can double click and it gets bigger, but not this time. Kindle is really poorly designed for kids' books!! I hope the publishers will get a little more aware of their digital responsibilities and stop designing just for paper. This really is the digital age and books should be designed to be read on a screen, with type capable of being made as large as needed.If anyone is wondering, I do NOT know the writer or illustrator. I tutor little kids in Canada and China, in person and over Skype, so I know a good book through use, not just by reading it myself. When a child does not like a book, they don't finish it! This book is perfect for young readers who will follow the words and the images.

Las ilustraciones son preciosas, la historia es muy divertida y a los peques les encanta. Se pueden trabajar diferentes profesiones pues la niña se va encontrando a un granjero, un panadero, etc. Yo lo compré pensando en Halloween, no quería un cuento que pudiese asustar a los peques, y si lo trabajas bien, puedes centrarlo en la época de Halloween pues al final del cuento la gente está disfrazada en el pueblo y terminan celebrandolo con una sopa de calabaza.
