Students paraded in elaborately decorated pumpkins, transformed into characters from classic children’s books. From “Charlotte’s Web” to “The Magic School Bus,” each pumpkin told a story.

The nearly 800 Brooklet students marched down Parker Street in little red wagons along with their teachers, all dressed in themed costumes that brought the books to life.
