Tee it up and take a swing . . .
Launch it from a sling . . .
Climb up high and let it drop . . .
Turn it into pumpkin slop!
Instead of dumping rotting jack-o-lanterns in the trash, award-winning picture book author Michelle Schaub invites readers to take them to a pumpkin smash! Stomping and squashing pumpkins into compost helps them to decompose–providing nutrients for the soil, seeds for next year’s harvest, and plenty of post-Halloween fun. With lively, lyrical text and Rilla Alexander’s bright, beguiling illustrations, Pumpkin Smash is an upbeat and playful celebration of Halloween–and a call to action to reduce landfill waste and support local ecosystems.
