The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin by Joe Troiano
3.0
First of all, why would you name a children's character "Spookley"? It's so hard to say and makes reading aloud less than fun...
Also not a huge fan of how after Spookley's differentness is discovered to be good that suddenly the farmer decides he doesn't need regular pumpkins anymore.
While I think it's very important that kids learn the importance of people different than themselves I also feel like there is this underlying pressure everywhere to be special and different. Sometimes people are ordinary and that isn't bad...
