Ivy Blue's Greatest Pumpkin Playhouse
Ivy Blue dreams of having her very own playhouse, but her parents think a pumpkin patch is a better idea. When Ivy Blue discovers a lonely pumpkin in the patch, she decides to treat it with special care. With the extra love and attention, her pumpkin grows and grows. Ivy Blue even gives her pumpkin a name: Autumn.
As Halloween nears, Autumn grows too large to become a jack-o’-lantern, leaving Ivy Blue with a dilemma—what do you do with a giant pumpkin?
This heartwarming tale of friendship, giving back to the environment, and realizing one's dreams in unexpected ways will delight readers in every season.
Visual Interactive Elements:
A splash of blue
Ivy Blue has a unique name and nickname (Blue Girl). While her favorite colors are pink and purple, she makes sure to wear a “splash of blue” to match the color of her sparkling blue eyes. The “splash of blue” may be small, such as a hair bow or trim on her clothing, or more prominent like a hat or backpack.
Do you spy the butterfly?
The second artistic element is the addition of a butterfly on each page or spread. Often the butterfly is obvious, making it easy for younger children to spot, but sometimes the butterfly is shy and requires a bit more searching to find.
