In time for Thanksgiving, a wacky twist on The Ugly Duckling. The Ugly Pumpkin has waited all through October for someone to take him home, but no one wants him. He doesn’t look like other pumpkins. So the lonely Ugly Pumpkin leaves the patch in search of a place where he’ll fit in. By the time Thanksgiving arrives, he discovers the truth about who he is—but it’s not what he expected! |

 Written on February 1, 2007 Summary: The Ugly Pumpkin Book arrived promptly and in good condition. Cute story. Will be a birthday gift for a grandchild next fall. Written on September 7, 2006 Summary: Loved by the Whole Family My mother gave this book to my 4 year-old and 2 year-old. It quickly became the family favorite. We read and enjoyed it so much that the 4-year-old had it memorized and was "reading" it to us and anyone she came in contact with. This book should be in every toddler/preschoolers library. Written on October 6, 2005 Summary: Awesome children's book It isn't often that I find a book that I am as enthused to read to my three-year-old son as he is to have it read to him. This is one of them. I picked it up at a local bookstore and from the first page, I was just delighted by the style of the art and the flow of the narrative. It is a simple story, but a classic one and I think it is a fantastic read for young kids. Definitely reccommended. Written on October 5, 2005 Summary: Fun Read With A Good Message I am using this book for my third grade class and they love it! It is essentially the classic ugly duckling book with a holiday twist and leads to a lot of productive discussion in class. The way this version of the classic tale is written makes it a very fun read. The words become part of the image, the image becomes part of the words, and the kids have a lot of fun reading all of it out loud. The voice of the pumpkin definitely comes through in the unique narrative style. It's true that the pumpkin has no desire to be a jack-o-lantern, as a previous reviewer pointed out, but somehow this wasn't a problem to the kids or me. Why would they only like the book if the pumpkin were masochistic and wanted to be cut up? That one is a head scratcher for me. The only reason I give the book 4 stars rather than 5 is that the story is a bit simplistic, but so are most ugly duckling books written for young children. I definitely recommend this one for anyone looking for a book children will enjoy both reading on their own and being read to. |
