One magical night four children discover that their Halloween jack-a-lantern is alive and a brilliant tap dancer. They befriend the charismatic pumpkin and learn about the secret world of pumpkins, where it is the jack-a-lanterns' duty to protect children from Halloween monsters. With the Dancing Pumpkin leading the way, they all set off on a thrilling adventure that shows them the importance of courage, friendship, and virtue. Publisher's Note: It has been over 30 years since we first published The Dancing Pumpkin book. Over the decades, the magical story of a tap dancing jack-o- lantern who protects children from Halloween monsters has grown in popularity and shared over generations throughout the world. In this revised and extended rewrite of the original story, author Howard Butcher, brings a deeper understanding of the fantastic pumpkin world that he created years ago. To complement his expanded story, we have selected artists from around the world to illustrate this new edition of the book. We hope that old and new fans alike will enjoy this revised and extended Halloween classic. Eric Pearson Publisher
