As it rolls down country roads, through a farm's haystacks, past a milkman and his cart, over a stone bridge, through a city's bistro, and past a butcher shop, readers will enjoy as each subsequent person joins in the young girl's chase after the runaway, rollaway pumpkin, making for a silly procession that gets even sillier when the group encounters a marching parade. A pleasing ending has the ever-growing group enjoying a cauldron of pumpkin soup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith stunning illustrations in beautiful muted earthy tones, many small details make each spread a delight in poring over-a dog with little sausages in its mouth, street signs that point \"this way\" and \"that way\", a tiny windmill in the distance, leaves fluttering down on the country road, fresh baguettes stacked up in the baker's wagon.
