The Ugly Pumpkin

Poor Ugly Pumpkin. No one likes him. This story is about one misunderstood gourd!Β  It is Halloween, and no one wants himThe Ugly Pumpkin. He is all alone and no one even bothers to take him home. He asks a tree, a truck driver, a pumpkin, and even a skeleton rejected him! Until Thanksgiving comes along and everything changes. Β He discovers why he is so unique.

When I read this book, it reminded me instantly of The Ugly Duckling and it felt like he was misunderstood and he was not ready to bloom yet. It wasn’t his turn to shine yet. Then, Thanksgiving rolled along, he bloomed, and became the star of the show.
