Letters to the Great Pumpkin

Linus’s annual letter to the Great Pumpkin becomes a group project when he invites his friends to write, too. The story centers on the gang’s hopes for the Great Pumpkin’s Halloween arrival and the toys he might bring. Six pull-out tabs let children open letters from Sally, Lucy, Charlie Brown, and others, making the book’s novelty format part of the reading experience. Its Halloween setting and familiar Peanuts characters give the story a seasonal focus, while the letters provide a simple way to explore the characters’ different responses to Linus’s idea.
