Fun Freetime: Spookley the Square Pmpkin

This looks like it'll be a cute story with a good lesson.

This Halloween, Cinedigm makes trick or treating unhauntingly perfect with the September 10 release of SPOOKLEY THE SQUARE PUMPKIN, now available for the first time in a two-disc DVD and CD set.

The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin, written by Joe Troiano and published by Holiday Hill Farm, is one of seven titles in the Spookley book series that, collectively, has sold over two million copies. The animated television special has been a long time Halloween favorite for the whole family, airing on Nick, Jr. from 2002-2005 and on Playhouse Disney from 2006-2012.  A broadcaster for 2013 is expected to be announced shortly. 

The eBook launched in 2010 and peaked as the #9 eBook bestseller.  Spookley was featured on the cover of four million Scholastic Book Club mailings.  The new DVD release features exclusive value adds, including the 16 song CD sing-along and five video picture books.

In the world where Spookley lives, ‘the only good pumpkins are round pumpkins.’  But Spookley is not round – he’s square – and he is often teased for his odd shape.  Soon, however, he is befriended by Edgar, Allan and Poe – three hilarious spiders who convince Spookley that, square or not, he has a right to be the “Pick of the Patch” on Halloween.
