The Happy Pumpkin | DK

2 posts | 2 read

A delightful, heart-warming story about a perky pumpkin who just wants to fit in this Halloween. Halloween is approaching and it's time for the kids to pick out their pumpkins. The pumpkins have been looking forward to this all year, and are excited to meet their new owners. But when everyone is being chosen, there is one pumpkin who feels left out. He is the smiliest and happiest pumpkin of them all, but of course nobody wants a happy pumpkin on the scariest, spookiest night of the year! Will this little pumpkin find a home in time for Halloween? Adults and children will love to read aloud and follow the story of this perky pumpkin as he hopes to find the perfect family. With adorable and colorful illustrations, The Happy Pumpkin will make a wonderful addition to any Halloween-lover's bookshelf while teaching little ones an important life lesson about not judging others based on what they look like.

I appreciated the message here—that some children don't enjoy the scarier aspects of Halloween, and that we should accept people as they are—but the delivery felt a little wanting. I think the problem is that the narrative is divided between the pumpkin's story and the human one, with neither feeling particularly convincing. Tastes vary of course, so those in the market for new Halloween board books might want to take a look.
