This is Harry the hedgehog. Harry has prickles and a yellow scarf.

Harry the hedgehog smiles outside his cosy home beneath an apple tree in autumn.

Tonight is Halloween! Harry wants a big pumpkin.

It is a sunny morning. Harry walks to the pumpkin patch. Tip-tap, tip-tap, tip-tap.

Harry walks along an autumn path toward a field filled with orange pumpkins.

Here is a small pumpkin. Here is a medium pumpkin. And here… an enormous pumpkin!

Harry looks in amazement at a small, medium, and enormous pumpkin in the field.

Harry pushes. Hmmm! He pushes even harder. Hmmmmm!

Harry braces his little paws against the giant pumpkin and pushes with all his strength.

The pumpkin moves. Roll, roll, roll! It is going down the hill!

“Stop, pumpkin! Stop!” calls Harry as he runs after it.

Harry runs down the autumn hill after the runaway pumpkin with his yellow scarf streaming behind him.

The pumpkin rolls past Rosie Rabbit. Hop! Rosie jumps into the air.

Rosie the white rabbit leaps high as the pumpkin rolls beneath her and her carrot flies into the air.

The pumpkin rolls past Sally Squirrel. Whoosh! Leaves fly everywhere.

The rolling pumpkin bursts through a pile of autumn leaves beside Sally the orange squirrel.

The pumpkin rolls toward Milo Mole. Milo peeks out of the soil. “What is that?”

Bump! The pumpkin stops right on top of the molehill.

The giant pumpkin rests on Milo’s molehill with only his little pink nose peeking out.

Harry catches up. Rosie catches up. Sally catches up. Puff, puff, puff!

“Milo, are you all right?” Milo climbs out and laughs. “Hee-hee, what a ride!”

Milo the mole climbs out beside the pumpkin, dusty but laughing with his round glasses askew.

“Will you help me roll the pumpkin home?” asks Harry. “Yes!” call his friends.

Roll, roll, roll… all the way to Harry’s home beneath the apple tree. Harry brings a spoon and a box of paints.

Harry, Rosie, Sally, and Milo work together to roll the giant pumpkin along the autumn path.

Sally scoops out the seeds. Rosie paints the eyes. Milo paints the nose.

And Harry paints a great big smile. The pumpkin is smiling!

Sally scoops seeds while Rosie, Milo, and Harry decorate the pumpkin outside Harry’s home.

The sun is setting. Harry places a little candle inside the pumpkin. Flicker!

At sunset, Harry lights the smiling pumpkin while Rosie, Sally, and Milo clap happily.

Harry spreads out a soft blanket. The friends sit around the glowing pumpkin. They feel warm and cosy.

Harry and his friends sit together on a checked blanket in the warm glow of the pumpkin lantern.

Rosie yawns. Yaaawn. Sally yawns. Yaaawn. Milo yawns. Yaaawn.

Harry snuggles up to the pumpkin and whispers, “Goodnight, little pumpkin.”

Beneath the first stars, Rosie, Sally, Milo, and Harry yawn beside the glowing pumpkin.

Everyone is asleep. The pumpkin glows quietly. Goodnight. The End.

Harry, Rosie, Sally, and Milo sleep peacefully on the blanket beside the softly glowing pumpkin.
