## Description

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 bin, 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.
