Inventive, amusing, and surprising. Riotously colorful illustrations. The bright colors, bouncy rhymes, and engaging pumpkin combine to make this a charming children's book with a happy and surprising ending.
Pumpkin pickers pooh-pooh the orange, barbell-shaped 'ugly pumpkin' in October. Fortunately, November brings the lonesome veggie some new friends and an epiphany. Expressive hand-lettered pages convey strong emotions.
Simple rhyming text. Children familiar with the story of the Ugly Duckling will recognize the parody here. Horowitz creates the mood with a wide range of expressions.
