Bookroo's summary
At a bustling autumn pumpkin fair, a young girl forms an unbreakable bond with her cherished pumpkin. Amidst pumpkin bowling and tasty treats, her loyalty is rewarded with an unexpected surprise. As families revel in the festive atmosphere, will her ordinary pumpkin become extraordinary? Discover the heartwarming twist in this charming tale of friendship and fun.
From the publisher
Jaunty rhymed text and lively, funny illustrations take readers to an autumn pumpkin fair in a small town, where a little girl’s loyal attachment to her very own pumpkin earns her a delightful surprise. “Christelow’s jubilant illustrations in watercolor and pen and ink add to the general atmosphere of gaiety–everywhere readers look, families are interacting happily and having fun. . . . A good non-scary Halloween story.”–School Library Journal
