00:00FROGGY PICKS A PUMPKIN
00:29by Jonathan London
00:30illustrated by Frank Remkowitz
00:35At school, Froggy read a poster
00:38Don't forget, trip to the pumpkin patch
00:41Tomorrow, pumpkin picking contest
00:49Next morning, Froggy woke up and looked out the window
00:53A beautiful pumpkin moon was setting
00:55and colorful leaves were falling
01:00Leaves! Leaves! cried Froggy
01:04I want to go out and play in the...
01:06Oops! He fell out of bed
01:09Thump!
01:13Froggy called his mother
01:16What?
01:18Stop jumping off the bed, dear
01:20Today is your field trip
01:22Oh, yeah! cried Froggy
01:25It's time to pick a pumpkin
01:30He hopped up and got dressed
01:33Zip! Zoop! Zup! Zut! Zut! Zut! Zut!
01:39And flopped into the kitchen
01:42Flop! Flop! Flop!
01:43Singing, pumpkins, pumpkins, muffins and pie
01:47Pumpkin faces lighting the sky
01:53He ate his breakfast of cereal and flies
01:56Munch! Crunch! Munch!
01:58And imagined a steaming pumpkin pie
02:01Yum!
02:02And a whole line of jack-o'-lanterns outside
02:05Lighting the night sky
02:11On the school bus, Froggy bounced in his seat
02:14Boing! Boing! Boing!
02:16And let all his friends singing
02:18Pumpkins, pumpkins, muffins and pie
02:21Pumpkin faces lighting the sky
02:28When they got to the pumpkin patch
02:30He jumped off the bus
02:32Flop! Flop! Flop!
02:33And sang, I'm going to pick a pumpkin
02:36I'm going to pick a pumpkin
02:39Froggy called his teacher, Miss Witherspoon
02:43What?
02:44Wait, dear
02:45We're going to have a pumpkin picking contest
02:48For the biggest, smallest, prettiest, ugliest
02:51And best all-around pumpkin
02:55Yippee! cried Froggy
02:57And he took off
02:58Flop! Flop! Flop!
03:00And tripped over a pumpkin
03:02Flew through the air
03:04And knocked into another pumpkin
03:06Bonk!
03:11Max bounced over three small pumpkins
03:14And tried to pick up a huge one
03:16It didn't budge
03:18Ugh!
03:19Travis said, step aside
03:22And lifted it up
03:28Matthew zig-zagged around Max, Travis and Froggy
03:32And picked up the prettiest pumpkin in the world
03:35It was shiny and perfect
03:37And just the right size
03:42Frogalina twirled and jiggled
03:46Frogalina twirled and danced through the pumpkin patch
03:51Then squatted down and said
03:53Hello, my sweet
03:55And picked up a very small, very dark orange pumpkin
03:59And kissed it
04:00Smooch!
04:05Froggy hopped up on a gigantic pumpkin
04:08And looked all around
04:10Like a pirate on the bow of a ship
04:12And shouted
04:13Ahoy there!
04:18And he leapfrogged over Frogalina
04:21He leapfrogged over Max
04:23He leapfrogged over Matthew
04:26Flop! Flop! Splat!
04:28And fell smack across a really big pumpkin
04:36He stood up and said
04:38This is the one
04:39And he tried to pick it up
04:41He got it up to his knees
04:43Huff!
04:44He got it up to his chest
04:46Yes!
04:47Then he trudged along with his huge pumpkin
04:50Lug! Lug! Ugg!
04:55Froggy!
04:56Called Miss Witherspoon
04:58What?
04:59You're going the wrong way
05:01Oops!
05:02Said Froggy
05:03And started huffing
05:09Max yelled
05:10Last one in is a rotten egg
05:13Everybody else ran with their pumpkins
05:16And Travis rolled his big one
05:18Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
05:24When Froggy finally got there
05:26He was too pooped to pop
05:28And tripped
05:29And smashed his pumpkin
05:31Smoosh!
05:32Oops!
05:33Cried Froggy
05:34Looking more red in the face than green
05:40Everybody laughed
05:41Even Miss Witherspoon
05:43Then she said
05:45And now for the winners of the pumpkin picking contest
05:52For biggest, Travis
05:55For smallest, Max
05:57Max lifted his hat
05:59And there, atop his head
06:01Was a pumpkin the size of a golf ball
06:07For prettiest, Matthew
06:09And for best all around, Frogalina
06:12Hers is a pie pumpkin
06:14Great for baking
06:15Frogalina said
06:17Hello, my sweet
06:18And kissed it
06:19Smooch!
06:24Then Miss Witherspoon said
06:26And for the ugliest
06:28Yours, Froggy
06:29What a mess!
06:31And everybody cheered
06:33Hip! Hip! Hooray!
06:34Even Froggy
06:39And on the bus ride home
06:41Froggy sang
06:42Pumpkins, pumpkins, muffins and pie
06:45Pumpkin faces lighting the sky
06:48And all his friends sang with him
