For today's countdown to Halloween post, another reading suggestion: It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. I mean the book adaptation (novelization?) for its 50th anniversary (which was in 2016, if you'd like to know). Okay so it's basically the beloved children's classic in book form. It's funny, witty, sweet, atmospheric, with just a hint of sadness. I bought it to Wolfie because in this country, it's hard to actually watch the original on the telly. he did it only once, last year, and he loved it. So this book allows us to enjoy the Great Pumpkin every year.
we love the great pumpkin and charlie brown!
ReplyDeleteSmart to have it in book form!
ReplyDeleteI've watched every year, but I don't think I've ever read the story.
ReplyDeleteDid you know the original Peanuts newspaper cartoon that first featured the Great Pumpkin was published on October 15, 1960?
