About book The Legend Of Spookley The Square Pumpkin (with CD) (2009)
Normally, pumpkins grow in a round shape. In this story though, there is a square pumpkin in the pumpkin patch. Because he is square, he feels left out and the other pumpkins make fun of him. Eventually he realizes how special he is because things that affect square pumpkins, don't affect him; like, when it gets windy, he doesn't blow away. By the end of the story, the other pumpkins end up loving the square pumpkin because he saves the day when the fence breaks, which stops the circle pumpkins from rolling away.Halloween book, good for accepting others who are different, could be used to introduce geometric shapes. This is the fun story of Spookley - a pumpkin who is square. The other pumpkins tease him for his strange shape until one night when he saves the rest of the pumpkins from blowing through a broken fence and out to sea. After Spookley's brave feat, the farmer sows Spookley's seeds in the pumpkin patch year after year, producing pumpkins of all shapes, sizes and colors.Beyond the ugly duckling theme, the book is also great for fall and Halloween. Delightfully illustrated by Susan Banta, this is a book I am sure I will continue to pull out year after year.
