Product Description
In a world where "The only good pumpkins are round pumpkins!" Spookley: The Square Pumpkin is often teased by the other pumpkins because of his odd shape. Soon, Spookley is befriended by Edgar, Allan and Poe, three hilarious spiders, who convince Spookley that square or not, he has a right to be the "Pick of the Patch" on Halloween. " A square pumpkin the Pick of the Patch?" Not if mean round pumpkins Big Tom and Little Tom can help it. These two bullies tease and taunt Spookley because of his square roots. Encouraged to continue to become the "Pick of the Patch" by kindly Jack the Scarecrow and his bat sidekicks, Boris and Bella, Spookley isn't sure he has what it takes until a mighty storm threatens to destroy the entire patch. As the storm rolls the round pumpkins uncontrollably macross the patch towards a raging river, Spookley realizes "it's fine to be round while the weather is fair, but there are times it's better to be a square!"

Based on the book by Joe Troiano, Spookley the Square Pumpkin is an animated program about a pumpkin that's a little different. When Scarecrow Jack discovers a square pumpkin named Spookley in the pumpkin patch a few days before Halloween, all the other pumpkins make fun of Spookley and want to exclude him from participating in the upcoming games of the "Jack-A-Lympics." Spiders Edgar, Allen, and Poe encourage Spookley to believe in himself, and they convince the other pumpkins to give Spookley a chance to enter the games. But it quickly becomes apparent that the games were designed for round pumpkins rather than those with sharp angles. When an unexpected storm hits, being square suddenly turns out not to be such a bad thing and Spookley wins the grudging respect of everyone on the farm. The characters are cute in this fall-themed show, the rhyming prose and appealing songs sung by Bobby Pickett ("Monster Mash") can be quite catchy at times, and the lessons of acceptance and believing in oneself are just right for children ages 2 to 7. --Tami Horiuchi
