Bookroo's summary

A tiny pumpkin seed dreams of being frightening, but no one is scared—not the snowflakes, bees, or even a watering can. The wind whispers promises of future spookiness, but waiting is tough. As seasons change, will the seed finally become the fearsome pumpkin it hopes to be by Halloween? This charming tale captures the impatience of growing up and the magic of transformation.

From the publisher

A pumpkin seed tries unsuccessfully to be scary until it grows into a pumpkin and Halloween arrives.
