A Modest Momma's Musings Halloween Tales Spotlight #4-- Splat the Cat and the Pumpkin-Picking Plan



   
       The well-meaning, but slightly wacky popular kitty is back in this Fall inspired story.  After an attempt to help his mother rake up a pile of leaves in the yard with his best friend Seymour the mouse (our duo becomes overwhelmed by temptation and end up jumping in and rearranging the leaf pile!), Splat's mom sends him out on a quest to bring home a pumpkin to decorate.  Splat and Seymour set out to, "Farmer Patch's Pumpkin Patch" and they enjoy sampling yummy apple and fish cider, get lost on a hale maze and search through a sea of pumpkins to find that just right gourd to bring home to mom. And, when they finally find that perfect pumpkin, Splat and Seymour face an unexpected sea of hilarious trouble ahead while trying to get the "Perfect Pumpkin" back home!
