Booklist - 07/01/2025 Pumpkin and Beetle are best friends and vampire cats who are on a mission to get their favorite comic's newest volume. However, getting the latest copy of the series is not easy when they don't have any money. In each chapter, Pumpkin and Beetle come up with a plan to make some money, but every time, they run into a new problem and must think creatively together to reach their goals. Of course, anything is possible with the power of friendship. Each chapter builds upon the last, presenting a new obstacle for the friends to overcome, from oversupply (who'd buy crabapples when they're free in the forest?) to quality control (their crabapple muffin recipe is less than perfect). There's lots of humor packed into the chapters, and the bold cartoon artwork in a Halloween palette is big enough for new readers to grasp what's happening. Closing with a recipe for mew-gical muffins (with regular apples), this early-reader comic is a great choice for little ones who love Halloween but aren't ready for real scares. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
