This book was so cute. My son LOVES Halloween, we celebrate all year! He loved this book and insisted I read it to him multiple times. I love that the author subtly added a life lesson of being true to yourself in the book.
My son insisted 5/5 stars. We will definitely be buying this book when it's published.

This an adorable seasonal story sure to make your list this year and every year for your reading time. It is a not scary story with great illustrations. This story is about a little pumpkin and teaches the message to not judge others. Not every spooky season story is scary and this one does a good job being sweet, seasonal, and presenting a message. It also shows not every pumpkin has to be scary. Pumpkins are in the patch looking to be picked by their family and as some are and some are left behind it can be a sad time. This pumpkin feels that way. This is his story. The story is sweet and the illustrations colorful with a great look for the season.
