The story

One October night, across the bridge

On a moonlit October evening, Pip crosses the bridge to visit his cousin Moss in the forest. Glowing pumpkins lead them to a party filled with apple bobbing, s'mores, and stories that are only a little bit spooky.

When the jack-o'-lantern contest begins, Pip and Moss make two very different pumpkins. Which one will the judge choose?

  • A walk across the bridge by moonlight
  • A trail of glowing pumpkins through the forest
  • Apple bobbing and s'mores with woodland friends
  • Stories by the lanterns that are only a little bit spooky
  • The jack-o'-lantern contest and a judge with a big decision

Meet Pip and Moss

A frog from town, a toad from the forest, and one bridge between them.

Pip and Moss are cousins and best friends. They're the kind of friends who know when you need a biscuit, a walk, or simply someone to sit beside you. The Halloween Adventure is part of the Pip and Moss Adventures series.
