This is such a fun book and perfect to read to children on the night before Halloween.  The little old lady was not afraid of anything.  One evening, she is put to the test as she is walking home and it is starting to get dark.   In the end, all of the scary things that she encountered came together and everything worked out just as it should.  This is a great book for letting children predict what they think is going to happen next.  A must read for Halloween.

Stumpkin            By:  Lucy Ruth Cummins

Ages:  Preschool through Second Grade

 

Stumpkin was one of many pumpkins in the store window, waiting to be picked to become a jack-o-lantern.   Even though he was a perfectly shaped pumpkin, unfortunately, he didn’t have a stem.  Halloween finally came and Stumpkin was the only pumpkin left.  Don’t worry, this story has a very happy ending and is a truly beautiful book.  Please don’t miss this one!
