Who is the Pumpkin Elf, and where is he? Freddy Thresher and the rest of his first-grade class follow clues to find a mysterious Halloween elf who comes to their classroom at night and plays tricks on everyone. The teacher says that the Pumpkin Elf will only leave treats if the class behaves. Can Freddy and his friends find the elf, mind their manners, and collect their pumpkin surprises?
Children's Literature
I have a problem. A really, really big problem, Freddy Thresher tells the reader right at the beginning of this story. Thus, the reader is hooked from the start of this addition to the Ready Freddy series. So begins this cute mystery involving a creature described as the Pumpkin Elf by Mrs. Wushy, Freddy's first-grade teacher. This whimsical and mysterious trickster leaves clues at Halloween time for the children to find treats. Since not all of the Pumpkin Elf's clues lead to treats, Mrs. Wushy cleverly uses each incident to teach the children a valuable lesson. But when the Pumpkin Elf leaves each child a pumpkin to carve for a class-decorating contest, things get really exciting. Freddy, with the help of his sister, carves a shark pumpkin. He is so proud of it that he leaves it on his porch for everyone to see before bringing it to school the following day. When the pumpkin disappears, Freddy is totally upset. The culprit is a surprise, and the story's ending is satisfying. The illustrations are spread nicely throughout the story.
