What a cute book for Halloween! We see the pumpkin's journey as it waits anxiously on a shelf, waiting for someone to take it home and make it a Jack-o-lantern. The pumpkin worries that no one will love him because he doesn't have a stump, and readers will enjoy trying to guess what will happen next.

For: readers looking for a non-scary Halloween book; fans of Halloween in general.

Possible red flags: The pumpkin worries about his body and thinks no one will love him, which may lead to further communication. The pumpkin also has abandonment issues and feels very lonely, which some readers may find overwhelming.
