Bookroo's summary

In Pumpkintown, Pumpkinhead dreams of the world beyond. Driven by curiosity, he sets off on an adventure, but a moment of rest turns chaotic when mischievous squirrels tamper with his head. Can Pumpkinhead fix his silly mistake and find his way back home? Discover the unexpected twists in his journey.

From the publisher

Pumpkinhead lives in Pumpkintown, where everyone has a pumpkin for a head. But unlike the rest of his neighbors, Pumpkinhead wonders about the outside world. Fearlessly, he sets off on a journey into the unknown. Foolishly, he takes off his heavy head when he stops for a rest. Mischievous squirrels meddle, and before too long, Pumpkinhead makes a seriously silly mistake.
