A fat little, round little, yellow little pumpkin dreams of growing up to be fierce and frightening, just like the scarecrow in the field. Then one day in autumn, when he has grown big and fat, the fierce yellow pumpkin gets the chance to become terrific and terrible.

With rich, warm illustrations and inimitable words from the author of Goodnight Moon, The Fierce Yellow Pumpkin is sure to delight for generations.
