Fun ,little All Hallows Eve themed book from Wise Brown about the titular pumpkin.
Nothing scary, just a lot of fun about the tough guy vegetable!

October 2016 - this one genuinely scared Ben when we turned to the jack-o-lantern spread. Which surprised me, because he hasn't been scared by any other Halloween books. Who knows! I thought it was fun.

I can’t figure out what’s going on here. Margaret died in 1952, so how is it that this book is published in 2003. After looking it up, there is a reprint edition in 2003/2006 and no mention of the origianl publish year. I find stuff like this odd when an original publication date isn’t used.
Told from the perspective of the pumpkin, this is a straightforward story of the pumpkin wanting to be scary like the scarecrow. He grows, is carved and gets his wish. It’s cute enough, but it’s not the best Halloween book I have read.
The nephew read this with me. He did like the pumpkin’s face once it got one, but he thought the story was not very scary or exciting really. It was slow for him. He gave this 2 stars.

A sweet story of a little pumpkin who dreams of being as frightening as a scarecrow. Good for autumn and Halloween storytimes.
