The witch has grown the biggest pumpkin ever, and now she wants to make herself a pumpkin pie for Halloween. But the pumpkin is so big she can't get it off the vine. It's so big the ghost can't move it, either. Neither can the vampire, nor the mummy. It looks as if there'll be no pumpkin pie for Halloween, until along comes the bat with an idea to save the day. How can the tiny bat succeed where bigger and strong spooky creatures have failed? You'll be surprised!

万圣节，就要到 女巫种出大南瓜圆圆滚滚藤上挂幽灵、木乃伊、吸血鬼，挨个使劲拉呀拉，可是谁也摘不下。小小蝙蝠来帮忙，他有什么好办法？作者以万圣节为背景，重新演绎了民间故事《拔萝卜》。与“原版”相比，“新版”的故事更加幽默，也更富有童话色彩。而著名童书插画家S. D. 辛德勒的生动绘画，更是为这个故事锦上添花，使《万圣节的大南瓜》成为了万圣节的必备读物。
