the perfect place for people
to put out pumpkins and prepare for...
- Pumpkin Palooza!
[laughs] It's finally today!
- [squeaks]
- Ooh, I can't wait
to walk through the neighborhood tonight,
see all the decorated pumpkins.
- I bet no one will have a soccer ball pumpkin!
- Okay, AJ, now you can scoop it out, just like Benny.
- Ugh! Messy.
Uh... [groans]
Aha!
[whirring]
- Hmm...
My pumpkin kinda looks like me. [laughs]
I just need some more blue paint.
Hmm...
- I think there's some in the closet.
Just be careful. The closet is very--
- [yells]
[groans] - Full.
- Oops. [Sparkinator chirping]
- The Sparkinator! - There must be trouble.
- [crying]
- Oh, that's my neighbor, Paulita!
Aww, she seems upset.
- Looks like she could use some heroic help.
- Sí, you can finish your pumpkins later.
But right now, who's the crew who knows what to do?
all: Sparks' Crew to the rescue!

What's going on?

I made two pumpkins for Pumpkin Palooza,
and now I only have one left.
- I wonder who or what did this.
- Fear not!
We will find the dastardly destroyer!

We just need to use our...

What do we notice? - [whooshes]
Well, I notice a big hole in this pumpkin.
- And I notice that the messy stuff from inside the pumpkin
is all over the ground.
Yuck!
[light music]
- [squeaks]
- And I noticed that Fur Blur sure does
love to eat pumpkin seeds. - [squeaks]
- Wait a minute...
If our cute little hamster likes to eat pumpkin seeds,
maybe other animals do too?
- Hey, look closer at the hole.
Notice something? It looks like bite marks!
- So an animal ate my pumpkin?
- Could be. - What kind of animal?
- Good question. How can we find out?
- Let's investigate.
If the animal liked the pumpkin,
it might come back for more.
- We should hide so the animal won't see us.
- Yes, we can each have our own investigation stations.

we put something around the pumpkin

I make a change or rearrange and try and try again.

- Hmm... Thought projecting.
We protected the pumpkin on all sides
so the squirrel couldn't get to it.
- But the squirrel could still get to the top of the pumpkin.
- So maybe we just need
something to cover the top of the pumpkin.

How about this old bicycle wheel?
