Why read it?
1 author picked Stumpkin as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a nice, short one (which is so needed for bedtime), and the pages where the pumpkin is getting carved are so striking and illustrated. Don’t worry, kids won’t be scared about the dear pumpkin getting carved—it’s presented as the pumpkin’s biggest dream to be a jack o’ lantern!
From Tracy's list on Halloween picture books with cute illustrations.
