Big Bob and the Halloween Potatoes — Daniel Pinkwater

Big Bob and Big Gloria are back in this totally a-peel-ing easy-to-read story!

Mr. Salami, formerly a cowboy, announces to his second-grade class that they will be cutting out pumpkins to decorate the classroom for Halloween. Big Gloria objects, declaring the potato as the preferred emblem over the pumpkin. But Mr. Salami stands his ground. Pumpkins, not potatoes. Big Gloria is resourceful, however, and she finds a way to celebrate Halloween with pumpkins AND potatoes! HA!
