Christopher Pumpkin

The creators of Supertato and Cake love to write about food that defies expectations. And now it’s time to say hello to Christopher Pumpkin. Have you ever heard of a Halloween pumpkin who doesn’t want to be scary? Nor has anyone else – until Christopher is magicked to life by a witch. At first, he’s delighted. The witch wants him to prepare for a party! He can’t wait to hang up colourful bunting and bake pretty fairy cakes! But hang on. This is a seriously spooky party in a creepy castle, where Chris must hang cobwebs and cook curried slugs. Ugh! How revolting! What’s a pumpkin to do?

  • Hilariously spooky artwork by top illustrator Nick East
