Spookley the Square Pumpkin

While this is no It's the Great Pumpkin,Chalie Brown it is a cute show for young kids.I bought it for my 4 year old granddaughter.She does watch it but is not as thrilled about it as I thought she would be.It does send a message about accepting others even thought they may be different from you(a square pumpkin in this case)It features some very different characters such as 2 cute bats named Bella and Boris and three talking spiders named Edgar,Allen and Poe.And of course several talking pumpkins and a walking.talking scarecrow(think Wizard of Oz).

The Square Pumpkin story is wonderful. My grandson loves watching it. I am very happy that I purchased it.

We taped this 2 years ago from the TV and recently purchased the DVD as our VHS tape was about to wear out!!! I had forgooten about Spookley at first but my then 2 year old daughter remembered it, asked for it by name and even recalled which VHS tape I'd recorded it on!!! Since then (2 years, my daughter is now 4 years oild) Spookley is a regular in our household! It really is a cute story with a good moral and catchy songs. The animation is very well done also....WE LOVE SPOOKLEY!!!!

my daughters simply ADORE this video and the book, too ... they fell in love with the video when they were both less than 2 years old - it held their attention for the entire length of the movie ... it's cute, funny, and has a great moral !!!!!

Looking for a family movie off of Unbox? This one is fine for everyone. While there are bats, spiders, and itty bitty ghosts, they are not scary at all for any child. This is a cute movie and is perfect for discussing:
- how being different is important
- how to deal with teasing
- why you shouldn't eat bugs (one of the bats is trying to stop eating bugs)
- the definition of love (one of the spiders is in love with a bat)

Overall, funny and a good little rental for the kids!
